What is the opposite of “living”?

By Luca Bonafede · June 28, 2021 · 

Exactly! The opposite of “living” is dying!

You won’t look back to your Life and remember the days you wasted watching Netflix all day long. You won’t remember the days you consumed your thumb scrolling your way down to your Instagram feed. You won’t remember the days you passed between the couch and the bed playing videogames. You won’t remember those days, trust me, you won’t!

You will remember the day you graduated, you will remember that run to catch your last train home, you will remember your hangover after a crazy night out, you will remember a stolen kiss, you will remember a walk uphill to see the sunset and the walk back in total darkness, you will also remember the time you ended up in the hospital. You will remember those days.

The truth is that we try to cheat Life by dying daily with meaningless activity and lazy behaviours. How about living Life by actually living it?

 

Thank you, and ciao for now.
