Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light."
Living and surviving have many differences, but they also have many similarities.
For example, both are comprised of letters found in the Roman alphabet. Both are verbs, contain the letters i, v, n, and g, and both involve breathing, eating, growing, etc.
They are very different, though. Living has an L, six letters, and two syllables, while surviving has and S, u, and r, nine letters, and three syllabels. Living has a common household room named after it, and the other does not ("I read a book in the surviving room." What?).
But living and surviving imply things beyond their basic definitions and syntax. Surviving means denying death. It means focusing on staying away from hunger, thirst, mortal wounds, and other such life threatening things. It means opposing death.
Living, on the other hand, focuses on the opposite. It focuses on doing things, on growing and achieving. While surviving centers around death and how not to die, living centers around life and how to embrace life to the fullest.
Both have the same end result. Both lead to continued existence and eventually the end thereof, but the quality of our journey between birth and death is determined by how we view our mortality. Are we merely surviving, evading death for as long as we can, or are we living life, doing all that we can do while we are still alive?
In my opinion, it's pointless to just survive. We're going to die, so why spend our whole life dreading that? Better to live now and die in contentment of a life fully lived.
Better to be happy than already resigned to death.
