Are you really alive?

Breathing – a sign of liveliness. If one is not breathing he is considered to be dead. Breathing is the thing which differentiates between an alive and dead person. Is this definition good enough to accept? Is only breathing needed to help us be alive?

I my views only breathing can not prove that a person is alive. Even if a person is breathing he can be dead. How is it possible? In fact liveliness depends on continues learning, improving and developing.

Most of the people fix themselves in a particular life pattern where they are compelled to follow the beaten track. They do not get chance to learn new things. They do not dish to improve. They do not wish to develop. This is the end of their life. Though they live physically they die mentally.

If a person really wants to be alive he must have an aim in life. He must work hard to achieve that aim. After achieving one aim he must proceed ahead to achieve next. Aims after aims. Achievements after achievements. It is liveliness.
