Write an Essay on topic - To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all
Answers
There is a lot of difference between living and existing. There are many people in this world who run a pointless life. A blunt life without a meaning cannot be considered a worthy one. Even animals exist. But by being so, what difference do we make between animals and us? We are named social animals; which means we are one step higher than them
But there is a great saying of Oscar Wilde:
“To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.”
Yes. Life is much beyond simply surviving. He is great who breaks the boundaries and brings those beautiful flowers. If just surviving is the essence of life would the great inventions and discoveries we see, use and get to hear been happened?
We cannot simply live the same set of routines everyday and call it a life. We should think out of the box; try something new and do something great for our fellow beings. In fact, simply existing can also be considered living dead.
We should not stay in one place, become stagnant and useless over a period of time. We should have our own desires LIVE and move ahead day after day. Only then we can realize the true meaning of life.
To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.”(Oscar wilde)
Nowadays people kill themselves to eke out a living, improve their living conditions or keep their high standard of living, but they forget to live. A Scottish proverb says; "be happy while you're living, for you're a long time dead." In fact, people don’t live, but they survive each day, for they are too busy, too tired, too stressed and too worried to really enjoy the pleasures of life. Everyone says; “time flies.” Thus, hours become days and days become years and years become a wasted precious life, and what for? Of course, for a better living.
It’s believed that to be successful in life and improve your conditions you have to work hard and never stop, because if you stop, another person will come and take your place. Besides, as the present society demands a lot of effort to survive and keep a decent living, pleasures are the first thing to be put off when wanting to achieve any goal. However, if you postpone your enjoyment until you have time, money and/or proper conditions arrive that time may never come or come too late and your priceless life will be wasted.
The strains of modern life force people to live in such a hurry that they don’t even have time to enjoy the beautiful world we live in. People forget to take delight of the bonny things nature provides us. It costs no money and takes almost no time. "This world, after all our science and sciences, is still a miracle; wonderful, magical and more, to whosoever will think of it." - Thomas Carlyle.
Being ambitious, human beings always want more than what they actually need or would really enjoy like a collector. People accumulate things for others to enjoy them, for they value their lives by the things they possess, which is a quite sad way of appreciating life since they’ll never be satisfied. “The true perfection of man lies not in what man has, but in what man is.” Oscar Wilde.
If people at bedtime review of the day ask themselves how much they delight the day, they’ll probably conclude that they miss another chance of feeling alive. Responsibilities are absolutely necessary as well as a job and material things, but life goes beyond that. How many people at their deathbed regret for not taking the opportunities they had to live, to have adventures and experiences? There is nothing better than to look back your past and be able to say; “I lived and lived very well. I made mistakes and I learned from them.”
Additionally, there is the other group of people who have all the time of the world to have a life, but they prefer to mind other’s business. Gossip people’s lives are so empty, so tasteless, and so dead that they just exist and, what is worse, they don’t know how to live.
In conclusion, our time is not eternal. Each second, minute, hour, day we waste is gone forever. To overwork for something you won’t enjoy is as silly as having the opportunity to live but to prefer to exist in order to talk about the ones who do live. Once we value more what we are than what we have, maybe our goals would change and feel what to be alive means. Thus, after feeling really alive, our life will be neither empty nor wasted but full of precious experiences.
