Saanj :
“The difference between great people and everyone else is that great people create their lives actively, while everyone else is created by their lives, passively waiting to see where life takes them next. The difference between the two is the difference between living fully and just existing.”~~~Michael E. Gerber
I have often gone through phases in my life when I just am drifting through life, accepting things as they are and just for some things waiting to happen .So is living passively a better way to live than live actively ? Taoism teaches you to just go with the flow accepting life as it is but is that being passive? Or should one just be guided by the inner knowledge , guide n light and take the path that leads one ultimately to where life wants you to go .
Life actually always guides us to the right path and when one is completely aware of this internal guidance , then there is actually no time wasted on being passive and waiting but there is acceptance n an active creativity that allows one to actively work towards it.
Sometimes when one is stuck in circumstances that makes one unhappy , when one feels sad and lacks the motivation to do something better for themselves this internal guidance or light fades a bit and one is stagnant .. waiting for something to somehow change our lives for us . Then life becomes mere existence … not actually a life worth living .
When you are lead by that inner guiding light , you seek the multiple small opportunities life presents you with, you enjoy every breath you are gifted with, learn so much from life and see there is so much to life thereby ‘living’ not merely ‘existing’.
To exist in this world is to be born, to live is to know the difference. Living is realizing there is more. Waking up each day and doing something you love to do. No matter what that may be if it truly makes your soul happy, then you are living life. The thought itself should excite minds and open endless possibilities to what this world can hold for one person. So its just a question of whether you are willing to get out of your comfort barrier , move out of the box and start thinking on acting on what really makes you happy and what you really want to do in life .
Just know that the best can come only from you, so be the best that there is."

"Dear Saanj, Karma means action, as I learned. All the people I know live their lives. Who are the people , in your opinion, who just exist ? It means that they are just beings, they are breathing like plants and animals. "
Saanj :
"Yes my dear, Karma does mean action or in simpler words ones behavior and attitude towards everything in life and towards other human beings . When I spoke about existing... in a larger sense i spoke of just passively moving a...long in life without a sense of purpose or direction and people who give up that fight , that joy in living and experiencing the joy of being alive. Yes they breathe and they are around but what makes them come alive is not there ...there is no will to soak in the beauty of life and there is no drive to change things if situations are bad ."
Haminia :
"Saanj , you are right. I know such people, they are very disappointed and I think that they didn't have a good education about life ...not only the school education. There are many people who don't know what to do, they don't find jobs to work, they feel themselves lost in space and in these conditions how can they act to feel the beauty of life ? They usually are depressed. In my opinion, they must be helped to come back to the meaning of life by those who live their life....but unfortunately all the people are very busy with their family, their work and their rest..., so who can help half of the Mankind who think that life is not worth living ? This is a very important issue on the planet, you know."
