Survive: You survive by staying alive through dangerous or harsh events or areas. Commonly things like Surviving through a harsh winter or a pandemic or survived a would-be fatal injury. People usually adapt to these kinds of situations with varying degrees of success or pure luck or skill. But yet, some may feel...odd after surviving something, like a part of themselves goes away or they lose a sense of meaning and purpose in life.
Live: You live by thriving, live a long life full of meaning and purpose. Many live their lives as farmers, workers, teachers, warriors but they need to live with a sense of purpose and meaning in what they do, they can't be told to just survive. It really doesn't give people true meaning or lessons to be learned.
In reality, we do need both in our society. We need to live to create long fulfilling lives full of meaning or purpose of our actions and choices while needing to survive if one of these doesn't go according to plan or something wrong happens in your or someone else's life. Throughout my life, I'd seen many examples of living but without surviving and surviving without living. These can be used as examples to teach others about why it's important to balance the two out and not go to the extreme with one or the other.
When do we survive is a really great question. The reason you survive is to live. I know that may sound weird but sometimes you have to survive in order to live. When you survive might be in some classes. Right now for me, I am surviving English and the US government. It is really hard for me to do well in these classes because I have a hard time understanding stuff. Most people survive just school day because they probably don’t wanna be at school. In order to survive, you have to just get up during the day and try and do something. Surviving may be hard at times but about everyone does it. Sometimes it will be hard but people get through it. But living, on the other hand, is a lot to look forward to and I’ll tell you why. Living is awesome because you can do anything you want and go and do it without hesitation. People want to live and go and do something that they love. That’s all they can do is live, some people do not know the word survive. Other people have a hard time to live because they are stuck in the surviving world. Some people jump back and forth between the living world and the surviving world. You start living like the woods because you can do anything you want, actually almost anything, besides the point, they do anything and have fun with it. People that survive might do the same thing but they won’t have enough fun as the people that are living. Surviving in my point of view sucks because living is so much better because you have way more fun with everything you do. But the only time I survive is when I’m in school because I do not like it here at all. But I will survive to learn the knowledge that is given to me. The times I live is when I’m in sports because that is one of my happy places. Sports make me live because of hitting in football. I live and survive in both so don’t get me wrong but I live more in them. I live in track and field because right before that gun to start the race it makes me live. I also will be living in the Army National Guards. I will be surviving and living in basic training for about six months. After I get back from basic training I will be living because I will have a good job and a good income to set me up in life. I will have fun living in basic training. I wanna have fun in basic but it will be hard fun. Pfeiffer
The quote, “I don’t want to survive. I want to live!” means that the captain in the movie doesn't want to deal with surviving his entire life out in space, he just wants to live life and not have to worry or deal with issues for the rest of his life in space. Everyone has dreamed of doing that including me, but in real- life you have to survive a few things in life to make goals and sacrifices. However, that doesn’t happen to everyone, lots of people have to survive all the time. Things that they have to survive is education, pursuing your career, dealing with economic problems, being strict with your supplies, and the whole COVID-19 ordeal. The things I have to survive is getting through school by getting good grades, being more responsible, and getting a part time job and to prove to everyone that I’m responsible. I’m also making plans to pursue my number one goal in the future. My future goal is to become a screenwriter and possibly a director too, but that I doesn’t mean I’ll have a one-hundred percent to live because Hollywood will be begging me to do more and more until I change the industry forever, so even if you make it to your goals, you’ll still have to survive. You have to work in order to succeed and to not get fired or laid off, and that is still survival instead of a living. The things that I do for a living is relax, watch Movies/TV, read books, listen to music, and go to fun places and not have to worry about anything but the fun stuff for a living. I just wish it happened every time, but it doesn’t, so even if the captain did make it back to Earth, he still has to survive. The captain would deal with controlling the people, deal with the planting, and rebuilding the world and restore humanity once in for all. The only thing you can do to live is retire at an old age and not have to work ever or deal with money. This is also the reason why people tell us that life is not fair and that we should get used to it. I am now struggling to get used to it, but after my goals are complete or not complete I might get used to it.
You survive when you gotta get through a class at school that you really don’t understand or like. Another example would be that you don’t want to go to work so you just survive the day. I survive the day at school because I don’t like here as mich as others. I survive my government class because I don’t really like government and I son’t really get it. I survive trying to get a job because it is hard to get a job. I survive the times at the race track because they are boring.
I live when I am on the track going fast and going in circles. I live when I am with my friends because we go out and look at lights and play around at the parks. I live when i am with my mom because we go look at christmas lights and jam out to the music we like. I live when I am on my motor bike because it can do wheelies and I can have fun with it in the mud. I am living when I am with my mom on our side by sides because we go through the mud and hit big bumps that let us go flying without getting hurt. I live when I am with my friends and we just hangout and drive around and jam out to our favorite songs. I am living when I am able to go to school and talk with people and see my friends and hangout with them in my classes. I am living when I hangout by myself because sometimes I need some alone time and I jam out to music and go for a drive.
When I survive is when I am in science class. I could barely scrape by and pass the class. There are some things that I understand and some things that I don’t understand. The reason why I say that I survived it is because I am not that good at science. I would need a lot of help with it. There were some things that I could understand and do by myself and some things I couldn’t. Another reason why I say that I survived science class is because It was a challenge for me. I had to fight my way through that class to get a good grade to pass. I also needed to help to survive. Another time when I was surviving was when my great grandmother died. I loved talking to her. She was very bright and uplifting. The best thing about her is that she could tell when you are sad, then she would immediately try to cheer you up. Another example when I was surviving is when I moved school to school. I moved twice. Both times it was hard, but one was harder than the other. When I first moved I moved to a smaller school so it was a little easier to make friends and get adjusted. The second time when I moved was here, in Brandon. Brandon is a whole lot bigger than the school that I came from. It was really hard to find any friends. Moving school to school made me a kinda shy person. At my first school in Spirit Lake, IA I had a lot of friends. Everyday I would be at a friend's house. But after being here at Brandon for 6 years, I kinda became a little more sociable. But I am still a little shy when talking to people who I haven’t met or talked to before.
When I am living is when I wake up and go to school. The reason why I say that it is living is because it is a routine in my life where I have been doing it for a long time. I am also living when I go to work. I am living when I go to work because it is the same thing over and over. I am doing the same thing almost every day.
Gurung When I survive the main thing to survive is Water, Food, air, clothing, job, and shelter. This thing we need to have to survive. Wake up in the morning, go to school and after school work and after work back home. Right now I am surviving for everything. We need to survive the danger, hardship, and the world. We need to survive hard like for example school is hard for me but I am still surviving. Work is hard but I am still surviving at work. Surviving from an enemy.
For me living is being happy going for a tour with friends, hanging out with friends. Have fun in life going on an adventure. Walking around gets some fresh air. Going to a restaurant for dinner with the family. Going to play soccer in other states with friends. Having coffee with my girlfriend and watching a movie. That is living for me. Have a huge house with a movie theater, gym, and swimming pool.
I survive when a new year for school starts because it's just one more year until I’m done and usually the next year is a lot harder than the previous year. The reason why you have to survive is that you want to get to your future and be able to do all of these things. You have to survive all of the hard times and get through those one step at a time and overcome your fears. I had to survive in math class because I’m not the best at math and I needed a lot of help because math wasn’t easy for me like history, English, or science. There are other things that I have survived doing. Like hitting the snooze button when my alarm goes off. I just have to survive day by day and be thankful for what I have. There are a lot of things to survive for and all of them are important, like walking across the stage for graduation, getting married, or having kids. I'm surviving so I can accomplish all of those things.
I live when I am on the baseball field because I love playing baseball. It’s just a good feeling when you step foot on the field and know you’re about to have a good time. Another thing I live for is school, school is an important part of our lives and we need to take advantage of going to school and learning. I live for my family because without them I don’t know what I would do in life, they want me to achieve in life.
When do i survive? I survive everyday dealing with the medical stuff I have been going through since i was 8. I used that term “stuff” because there is not much trust i have for numerous people who would see this and based on how society works there would be judgement and opinions that i really do not care for. I survive agriculture classes as boring as the teachers have been. They are not interactive with the students really so its basically just notes and homework….no connection to the students. I survive the people who bully and mess with me on a daily basis even though they do not consider the fact that they see what I believe they should see. I survived the ditch i crashed into, i was going way to fast in my first car on gravel and slid into a ditch no scratches,no cuts, no broken bones, just the memory and a tow truck. That car only had some cosmetic damage no actual internal damage to it as well, I on the other started having flashbacks whenever I drove on gravel for awhile after that. This memory is one of the reasons i bought a truck as well. I survived when school turned into distant learning if that counts? Being around my family that much was too much when we got kicked out.
When do I live? What is living to help this question out. Living instead of surviving is when the mind is at peace and conditions are well for you. I live when i am driving whether its driving my car around or driving the truck. Depending on the mood it might just be cruising with the friends that makes me feel alive or driving fast. I live when i am at my friends house or when we hang out in town. I live when I am doing things with technology like coding,programming, or designing things. Gaming is also a peaceful thing to do, most people play for competition. While I play for entertainment and being social. I live when my family comes to me for help for example my dad asked if i was busy and i was not so he asked if i wanted to help with some shingles. I did not expect any pay because 1 it was not a full job and 2 because we were shingling my uncles house. I live for the people who understand how someones accomplishment means something to that person. I bought my first car and my friends said it was awesome that i got a car, on the other hand
I don't want to survive. I want to live" well what I think he means by this is that he wants to stay alive and still have fun and not just sit around and do nothing all day. he wants to help and do more, he doesn't want to just sit around and do nothing. when do you survive? when you're in a life or death state and you cant think about doing the things you love, your just living because you need to. every day we stay we are living but someone we are just living because we can't do the things we love and want to do. like after high school you not going to get your dream job and be happy. You're going to go through some bad and good jobs and somedays you going to love your life and next you could hate it. what you want can change, say you want to have a wife after school but then you find out your girlfriend cheated on you and now you are just working and living because you have to. would you think he would want a wife anymore, nope he would want to probably focus on. himself and not worry about having a wife. When do you live? you live when your going something that makes you happy and you aren't just worrying about not dying all the time. living is when you are living and you're not focused on making sure you are alive. It's when you are going the things you love to do and when the person around you aren't trying to kill you all the time. I don't really understand a lot of this stuff because if you aren't happy then why not just kill yourself it's easier than living if you think about it. when your alive you have to be what everyone wants you to do or they will change you. not just in high school but for your whole life, people will. change you into anything they want you to be. your feeling won't matter to anyone. everyone just cares about themselves and the ones they love. if someone was told they had to kill you or their family would die then you would die, it might take them a while but you would be the one who is died. life is sometimes too strong and people will do anything to not die. but what's so wrong with dying, I think it would be nice you wouldn't need to worry about people or breathing you would just have died. I don't know what happened afterlife, my guess is that nothing happens and we just stay where we are. why would we go to heaven or hell. like some guy in the sky cares if we are good or bad. It's just like when we are kids and they tell you about Santa, if your good you get the things you want and if your bad you get rocks. It's childish to me to think there is a heaven or hell. but that's just me
When will i survive well its hard to comprehend this because its all about when situation your in lets say im in the book the road i have to work to stay alive i have options to be alive or dead but when your working that hard to just live whats the point i would rather just ended it my self then to starve to death but if things were getting easier then i guess i would work a little harder to be at the top but who would want to live in a world where people are eating people… not i sometimes being 6 feet under isn't always the worst option it would beat suffering because suffering isn't living when surviving your not experiencing life you don't get to receive the pride and joy you just get to go day by day. I guess i wont know the difference between one or other until it comes witch i hope it doesn't come down to that. I don't know if i could live not knowing where my next meal is gonna come from because nothing is growing there are no animals left
When will i live im sure youve heard the story of chirs kyle american sniper hero to the heroes he is a man who lived a life chris fought for the country he loved he fought for the family he loved you could say his story is about surviving but i think its something greater when i think of fighting i dont think would would be easy but what i do think is hes working together with people to make the world a better place and thats some living to me while fighting he was getting a rush like no other some people live for the rush i used to race dirt bikes because of that same rush you feel as if nothing can stop you or knock you down you know thats same feeling when your bloods just pumping and your all ampeted up i will live to my best of my ability when i need to fight for something like my family i will do anything to help my country im not the type of person to hide and wait to see what happens there has to be people out there will to live life on the edge or nothing will ever get done live like you were dying and your life will be a heck of a lot more event full give people the chance to do the same thing so what im trying to say is fight for a reason like family and that will show you what living is really about live with love joy and pride. meier
1. The way you survive is when you are stranded out in the wild and have to stay there for a long while, “Hatchet” by Gary Paulsen is an excellent example of a story of a kid being lost in the Canadian wilderness and having no idea where you are because we as humans have lived in an era of technology where we basically don’t care about our surrounding environment and that says a lot about the Millennial/Gen-Z age where we don’t give zero craps about what is going on in the area we call a concrete jungle having food/entertainment bought and directly shown to our eyes in which we forget that we literally have no purpose in towns put a purpose in the wild
2. We are constantly living right now, this hell that we struggle through for our lives to live, this is the hell that we had basically called the future, it’s like when Ash Williams was secluded in a cabin in the middle of nowhere with his friends resulting in Williams killing his friends, going insane, getting sent back in time trying to survive against the deadite horde and then getting back to the present *director’s cut ending plays* NO NOT THIS ENDING, THIS ENDING *Ash going in for a kiss after saying “hail to the king baby”* leaving him with cursed knowledge of the Necronomicon Ex Mortis, the book of the dead and living his life like the chad he is, then cut to “Ash Vs. Evil Dead” where he is about to hit the town and remember he f*ked up by unleashing the deadites again *Evil Dead 2013 movie starts playing* NO, *shoots the TV Evil Dead 2013 is playing on*, where was I oh yeah now I remember. Resulting in Ash’s screw up, he now lives with the fact that deadites are coming toward him to kill him, and he lives with his boomstick, chainsaw hand, and his mechanical arm Pablo made, the man is living a double life, one is a bad*ss deadite slayer, and the other is retail, he lives through it all naturally being a nightmare warrior and it’s all *tape recorder plays and Ash Williams starts speaking* Groovy
What is survival for me is doing anything to live. If you want food you have to fight for it that survives for me. Survive through a hard winter time or survive through hot deserts and live that call survive for me. I have to hide from the enemy to live.
What is life for me is doing anything to be happy. For me is like the freedom that I can do anything to be free. There are a lot of things that call living for is family and friends. I like to spend time with my family and friends they are everything to me. Another thing they like is soccer.
Surviving and living are arguably very different things. Surviving is getting by with what you have, or maybe even going through a life-threatening situation. When I or other people survive, it’s usually something you really don’t want to do, but you just have to get by doing it. It could be going to school every day, working a boring job, or just anything that is a struggle, but you just have to push through. Not many people enjoy just “surviving”, especially when it comes to dire situations. Sometimes it’s just a struggle to get by, not everyone gets everything they want, like the job they want, or the house, or the cars, etcetera. People who survive make do with what they have, whether they’re living in poverty, hardship, or a life they just don’t want to live. Like the captain in WALL-E, he didn’t want to have to just fight for survival on the ship anymore, he wanted to go back to Earth, where he could live. As for living, living is very different from survival, living, in this case, is being free, getting to do the things you want to do, get the things you want to get, living a life of fun and happiness. People who “live” are happy with their life, they like how their life is going, they’re enjoying everything, they aren’t in a constant battle for survival, everything is nice and smooth. With living, you don’t have to be very wealthy or have all the nice things you could imagine, you’re just living the life you want to live. For the captain, he wanted to go back to Earth, where he could just live his life, where he and all the others wouldn’t have to be fighting to survive in space, they would just settle back on Earth, living life.
I live every day of my life, even though it isn’t every second of every day. I live by waking up and trying to make the best out of my life, even though it isn’t always what I want to do. To live to me means to live with a personality and with a heart, instead of just living a meaningless nothing. I’d personally say it isn’t the easiest thing to always do, as many days are hard to find reason. Because in reality we're all moving towards an eternal death to which we cannot take any personal belongings, and the memories we cherish will become black. We all hope that we will mean something to somebody, but no matter how large of an impact we make, it will diminish with each generation that comes along. Some choose to see it a similar way I do: Living for themselves and their own goals and happiness instead of trying to impress others. While it sounds dark and grim, I still continue to push every day to one day complete my goals. One of my favorite ideas/thoughts is what it’ll be like to have a family of my own one day. I hope to help my family live their life to the fullest and enjoy the little things for themselves instead of wearing themselves out for others.
When do I survive?
Much like living, I also just “survive” every day. I would like to think I live a lot more than I survive, but I know some days, that’s not the case. I tend to just survive while I’m at work or at school, as I do what I can to pass/make money and move on to the next day/objective. Some days within my life, I just want to survive instead of live so I can give myself a chance to take a break from such a harsh reality. When I was younger it was a lot harder for me to just “take a day off” as I felt it was a waste of life. But as I’ve gotten older I’ve found the day to day struggle to be a lot harder since it’s intertwined with the adult life I’m supposed to live. I feel as if just surviving at work somedays makes it easier as I shut my mind down and give myself a break while I senselessly work like an inhuman object or a robot. I’ve struggled with something along the lines of these two for a while and it’s something that seems to take life away from me. Most days I feel mediocre, like I’m just another useless human being living on earth and taking up space. It makes it more difficult to live than it does to survive as it increases the feeling of going nowhere.

For me living is being happy going for a tour with friends, hanging out with friends. Have fun in life going on an adventure. Walking around gets some fresh air. Going to a restaurant for dinner with the family. Going to play soccer in other states with friends. Having coffee with my girlfriend and watching a movie. That is living for me. Have a huge house with a movie theater, gym, and swimming pool.
I survive when a new year for school starts because it's just one more year until I’m done and usually the next year is a lot harder than the previous year. The reason why you have to survive is that you want to get to your future and be able to do all of these things. You have to survive all of the hard times and get through those one step at a time and overcome your fears. I had to survive in math class because I’m not the best at math and I needed a lot of help because math wasn’t easy for me like history, English, or science. There are other things that I have survived doing. Like hitting the snooze button when my alarm goes off. I just have to survive day by day and be thankful for what I have. There are a lot of things to survive for and all of them are important, like walking across the stage for graduation, getting married, or having kids. I'm surviving so I can accomplish all of those things.
I live when I am on the baseball field because I love playing baseball. It’s just a good feeling when you step foot on the field and know you’re about to have a good time. Another thing I live for is school, school is an important part of our lives and we need to take advantage of going to school and learning. I live for my family because without them I don’t know what I would do in life, they want me to achieve in life.

When do i survive? I survive everyday dealing with the medical stuff I have been going through since i was 8. I used that term “stuff” because there is not much trust i have for numerous people who would see this and based on how society works there would be judgement and opinions that i really do not care for. I survive agriculture classes as boring as the teachers have been. They are not interactive with the students really so its basically just notes and homework….no connection to the students. I survive the people who bully and mess with me on a daily basis even though they do not consider the fact that they see what I believe they should see. I survived the ditch i crashed into, i was going way to fast in my first car on gravel and slid into a ditch no scratches,no cuts, no broken bones, just the memory and a tow truck. That car only had some cosmetic damage no actual internal damage to it as well, I on the other started having flashbacks whenever I drove on gravel for awhile after that. This memory is one of the reasons i bought a truck as well. I survived when school turned into distant learning if that counts? Being around my family that much was too much when we got kicked out.
When do I live? What is living to help this question out. Living instead of surviving is when the mind is at peace and conditions are well for you. I live when i am driving whether its driving my car around or driving the truck. Depending on the mood it might just be cruising with the friends that makes me feel alive or driving fast. I live when i am at my friends house or when we hang out in town. I live when I am doing things with technology like coding,programming, or designing things. Gaming is also a peaceful thing to do, most people play for competition. While I play for entertainment and being social. I live when my family comes to me for help for example my dad asked if i was busy and i was not so he asked if i wanted to help with some shingles. I did not expect any pay because 1 it was not a full job and 2 because we were shingling my uncles house. I live for the people who understand how someones accomplishment means something to that person. I bought my first car and my friends said it was awesome that i got a car, on the other hand
I don't want to survive. I want to live" well what I think he means by this is that he wants to stay alive and still have fun and not just sit around and do nothing all day. he wants to help and do more, he doesn't want to just sit around and do nothing. when do you survive? when you're in a life or death state and you cant think about doing the things you love, your just living because you need to. every day we stay we are living but someone we are just living because we can't do the things we love and want to do. like after high school you not going to get your dream job and be happy. You're going to go through some bad and good jobs and somedays you going to love your life and next you could hate it. what you want can change, say you want to have a wife after school but then you find out your girlfriend cheated on you and now you are just working and living because you have to. would you think he would want a wife anymore, nope he would want to probably focus on. himself and not worry about having a wife. When do you live? you live when your going something that makes you happy and you aren't just worrying about not dying all the time. living is when you are living and you're not focused on making sure you are alive. It's when you are going the things you love to do and when the person around you aren't trying to kill you all the time. I don't really understand a lot of this stuff because if you aren't happy then why not just kill yourself it's easier than living if you think about it. when your alive you have to be what everyone wants you to do or they will change you. not just in high school but for your whole life, people will. change you into anything they want you to be. your feeling won't matter to anyone. everyone just cares about themselves and the ones they love. if someone was told they had to kill you or their family would die then you would die, it might take them a while but you would be the one who is died. life is sometimes too strong and people will do anything to not die. but what's so wrong with dying, I think it would be nice you wouldn't need to worry about people or breathing you would just have died. I don't know what happened afterlife, my guess is that nothing happens and we just stay where we are. why would we go to heaven or hell. like some guy in the sky cares if we are good or bad. It's just like when we are kids and they tell you about Santa, if your good you get the things you want and if your bad you get rocks. It's childish to me to think there is a heaven or hell. but that's just me
I don't wanna survive i wanna live- caption
When will i survive well its hard to comprehend this because its all about when situation your in lets say im in the book the road i have to work to stay alive i have options to be alive or dead but when your working that hard to just live whats the point i would rather just ended it my self then to starve to death but if things were getting easier then i guess i would work a little harder to be at the top but who would want to live in a world where people are eating people… not i sometimes being 6 feet under isn't always the worst option it would beat suffering because suffering isn't living when surviving your not experiencing life you don't get to receive the pride and joy you just get to go day by day. I guess i wont know the difference between one or other until it comes witch i hope it doesn't come down to that. I don't know if i could live not knowing where my next meal is gonna come from because nothing is growing there are no animals left
When will i live im sure youve heard the story of chirs kyle american sniper hero to the heroes he is a man who lived a life chris fought for the country he loved he fought for the family he loved you could say his story is about surviving but i think its something greater when i think of fighting i dont think would would be easy but what i do think is hes working together with people to make the world a better place and thats some living to me while fighting he was getting a rush like no other some people live for the rush i used to race dirt bikes because of that same rush you feel as if nothing can stop you or knock you down you know thats same feeling when your bloods just pumping and your all ampeted up i will live to my best of my ability when i need to fight for something like my family i will do anything to help my country im not the type of person to hide and wait to see what happens there has to be people out there will to live life on the edge or nothing will ever get done live like you were dying and your life will be a heck of a lot more event full give people the chance to do the same thing so what im trying to say is fight for a reason like family and that will show you what living is really about live with love joy and pride. meier
1. The way you survive is when you are stranded out in the wild and have to stay there for a long while, “Hatchet” by Gary Paulsen is an excellent example of a story of a kid being lost in the Canadian wilderness and having no idea where you are because we as humans have lived in an era of technology where we basically don’t care about our surrounding environment and that says a lot about the Millennial/Gen-Z age where we don’t give zero craps about what is going on in the area we call a concrete jungle having food/entertainment bought and directly shown to our eyes in which we forget that we literally have no purpose in towns put a purpose in the wild
2. We are constantly living right now, this hell that we struggle through for our lives to live, this is the hell that we had basically called the future, it’s like when Ash Williams was secluded in a cabin in the middle of nowhere with his friends resulting in Williams killing his friends, going insane, getting sent back in time trying to survive against the deadite horde and then getting back to the present *director’s cut ending plays* NO NOT THIS ENDING, THIS ENDING *Ash going in for a kiss after saying “hail to the king baby”* leaving him with cursed knowledge of the Necronomicon Ex Mortis, the book of the dead and living his life like the chad he is, then cut to “Ash Vs. Evil Dead” where he is about to hit the town and remember he f*ked up by unleashing the deadites again *Evil Dead 2013 movie starts playing* NO, *shoots the TV Evil Dead 2013 is playing on*, where was I oh yeah now I remember. Resulting in Ash’s screw up, he now lives with the fact that deadites are coming toward him to kill him, and he lives with his boomstick, chainsaw hand, and his mechanical arm Pablo made, the man is living a double life, one is a bad*ss deadite slayer, and the other is retail, he lives through it all naturally being a nightmare warrior and it’s all *tape recorder plays and Ash Williams starts speaking* Groovy

What is survival for me is doing anything to live. If you want food you have to fight for it that survives for me. Survive through a hard winter time or survive through hot deserts and live that call survive for me. I have to hide from the enemy to live.
What is life for me is doing anything to be happy. For me is like the freedom that I can do anything to be free. There are a lot of things that call living for is family and friends. I like to spend time with my family and friends they are everything to me. Another thing they like is soccer.
Surviving and living are arguably very different things. Surviving is getting by with what you have, or maybe even going through a life-threatening situation. When I or other people survive, it’s usually something you really don’t want to do, but you just have to get by doing it. It could be going to school every day, working a boring job, or just anything that is a struggle, but you just have to push through. Not many people enjoy just “surviving”, especially when it comes to dire situations. Sometimes it’s just a struggle to get by, not everyone gets everything they want, like the job they want, or the house, or the cars, etcetera. People who survive make do with what they have, whether they’re living in poverty, hardship, or a life they just don’t want to live. Like the captain in WALL-E, he didn’t want to have to just fight for survival on the ship anymore, he wanted to go back to Earth, where he could live.
As for living, living is very different from survival, living, in this case, is being free, getting to do the things you want to do, get the things you want to get, living a life of fun and happiness. People who “live” are happy with their life, they like how their life is going, they’re enjoying everything, they aren’t in a constant battle for survival, everything is nice and smooth. With living, you don’t have to be very wealthy or have all the nice things you could imagine, you’re just living the life you want to live. For the captain, he wanted to go back to Earth, where he could just live his life, where he and all the others wouldn’t have to be fighting to survive in space, they would just settle back on Earth, living life.

When do I live?
I live every day of my life, even though it isn’t every second of every day. I live by waking up and trying to make the best out of my life, even though it isn’t always what I want to do. To live to me means to live with a personality and with a heart, instead of just living a meaningless nothing. I’d personally say it isn’t the easiest thing to always do, as many days are hard to find reason. Because in reality we're all moving towards an eternal death to which we cannot take any personal belongings, and the memories we cherish will become black. We all hope that we will mean something to somebody, but no matter how large of an impact we make, it will diminish with each generation that comes along. Some choose to see it a similar way I do: Living for themselves and their own goals and happiness instead of trying to impress others. While it sounds dark and grim, I still continue to push every day to one day complete my goals. One of my favorite ideas/thoughts is what it’ll be like to have a family of my own one day. I hope to help my family live their life to the fullest and enjoy the little things for themselves instead of wearing themselves out for others.
When do I survive?
Much like living, I also just “survive” every day. I would like to think I live a lot more than I survive, but I know some days, that’s not the case. I tend to just survive while I’m at work or at school, as I do what I can to pass/make money and move on to the next day/objective. Some days within my life, I just want to survive instead of live so I can give myself a chance to take a break from such a harsh reality. When I was younger it was a lot harder for me to just “take a day off” as I felt it was a waste of life. But as I’ve gotten older I’ve found the day to day struggle to be a lot harder since it’s intertwined with the adult life I’m supposed to live. I feel as if just surviving at work somedays makes it easier as I shut my mind down and give myself a break while I senselessly work like an inhuman object or a robot. I’ve struggled with something along the lines of these two for a while and it’s something that seems to take life away from me. Most days I feel mediocre, like I’m just another useless human being living on earth and taking up space. It makes it more difficult to live than it does to survive as it increases the feeling of going nowhere.
