Most of the people I know don't live, they just survive

Why do you believe that most people you know don't live and are just surviving?

They do things because they must, and do them quick so they can continue to do the next thing they must do.

While they do these things, they don't seem to enjoy the moment doing it, it's like a robot doing something because it must.

Most of them has so many things they must do that they don't have enough time sleeping, and that cycle just gets worse and worse.

And it doesn't stop; they get old, they become unhealthy, but they must continue to keep up, because they pressure themselves to do so, or others do it or manipulate them to feel that.

They fake or ignore how they really feel, just to adjust to the environment, and actually they don't really know what they feel, only what they must do.

That's surviving in my opinion.
