Thread: Your definition of "having a life"

my definition of having a life is being contenet with my decision and saying no regrets aferwards. I mean well i do pretty much what i want. just as long as i does not go against my setr of morals

My definition of having a life.....is not to live an active life.
I mean to some that is more enjoyable....and that is understandable...the thought of it seems a bit more glorious.
To have a life.....to me means being happy with who you are and the things you are interested in I suppose.
Most people around me have a life....I mean they do things they think are cool and fun.....call me stupid for being a bit optimistic but that how I like to look at it.

The definition of me having a life is that I am working hard on pursuing my dreams and making sure that one day they would come true. I like to be very active in the world, so if I do not have freedom and happiness and love ..then it is very hard for me to call that "having a life". Also if I do not have any sort of goal for my future..then what the hell am i doing then...i have to have something to look forward to.
Also having some sort of a balance, order, peace and tranquility in my life is very important. If I lead a very hectic schedule sometimes I get so lost in it that it is very hard to get back on track.
To me the people who have "no life" is the people who choose to do nothing important with their time and just spend it away on something stupid such as doing drugs and things like that.

To me having a life means that you are basically alive, fully thinking and fully breathing but also having fun enjoying the things that you love that don't have any dangerous health affects that will cause you to lose your life. So according to me the people who are on the computer all day have more of a life than the people who choose to party all the time.

Having "a life"?

Well I disagree with everyone who is saying having "a life" is the equivalent of being alive. If that were the case, the term would never have been coined.

However, its almost a pointless insult. To say "Get a life" or "You have no life"... Its almost the same gist as telling someone: "You're ugly". What is ugly? Whats ugly to me may not be whats ugly to you. It is all based on the opinion of the person throwing insults around.

As to the general definition. I disagree with that as well... to an extent.
Friends are overrated... so is "going out" with friends. However, going out, getting freash air. thats very healthy.
Playing video games or watching movies (anime or otherwise), doesn't mean you have no life.
I think someones life is determined by QUALITY of life. If all you do is play games and watch movies... you have no life.

If all you do is "go out" with your "friends", where its of no benefit to you, aside from hanging out.... you have no life.

A good quality of life is making progress on your journey. Moving foward, and accomplishing goals.

Doing anything that hinders you, holds you back, or leaves you stuck.. Is what makes you have no life.

My defanition of having a life is living it! Do your best each and every day, and enjoy it...always! Making the best of every situation, and pushing all obsticles with a smile on your face.
