what is living ? It is not sleeping , eating , idling , working or jogging . Then what is it ? Living have many meanings to different people. The joy of living. The passion to live. The wanting to serve. The living to give. The love for all living beings. Ultimately, it is just happiness.
Buddha says that if there is happiness , then there is saddness. Or there will be saddness if there is happeiness. Unless, you can achieve the ultimate happiness. It is very simple to understand. How can we maintain happiness all the time? Our mood or sentiments is changing every moment. If our happiness dip, then we will feel less happy and it can alos interprete as unhappiness because the levelof happiness has drop.
If we can fully control our mind and in turn, control our feelings and keep us happy all the time, then that is living. The passion to do something we feel happy. Some people say sleep is living. They are at the most happiest moment when they are asleep. Or they are at the happiest moment when they eat. The joy of living is enjoy every moment or every process that we go through whether is a routine or a simple act.
Since we cannot remain happy at the time, then living is the art of living most out of something. We optimize the moments of happiness in a period of our life. Enjoying the process in our journey and not waiting for the destination.
So, if we die without living is really terrible. This ending will occur if we just wait to do something and we meet our fate while waiting to live. Isn't this terrible? Don't wait and don't procastinate. Do the thing we like now. Don't just sleep, eat , idling or working non-stop to wait for enjoyment to come.
If you want to eat , you just go and eat, if you want to sleep , you just go to sleep. If these acts makes you happy. Doing nothing is doing something but it must be for a purpose or persuant of happiness.
Namaste.
