Do you truly believe that you are alive?

[Moloch]

I only exist because a couple stars turned hydrogen into more complex elements...

Eventually going supernova and spreading these atoms in every direction where they could turn into planets and people

I heard there were at least 2 supernovas in Earth's vicinity, making it possible that the atoms in your left hand are from a different star than the atoms in your right hand

I know I exist because I directly affect others lives daily

[pancho_villa]

Even if our life is just a simulation of life in a highly sophisticated computer, it would still be a life.

So logically we are alive .

[UliJonHoth]

No. I've always had serious difficulty believing that I exist or that any of this is truly happening. I can't be arsed to explain why but that's how it's always felt.

Same here, it is very hard to describe in words so I won't even try but I had an experience when I was very young that made me question this reality we are in, to this day I'm still trying to make sense of it but things are definitely not as they seem.

We are created from atoms and cells.
Essentially we are just a sophisticated biological machine in which when one piece of matter moves or behaves in a certain way it creates a chain reaction.
A beautiful mathematical and biological orchestra of unfathomable precision.
Given enough time and resources every component that makes up our bodies and minds can be dismantled and explained through science.
So i ask again do you truly believe that you are alive?

actually, we are in a dream.. matrix controll all of us..matrix has us.. so we dont live in this pyschical world.. we are just delusional..

you are so funny.. what is the matrix which you have mentioned.. your claims are so ridiculous..

[mikehersh2]

Yes i believe i am truly alive. I am, and you are, made up of trillions of living organisms, yet they are all working together, as one body. The brain however, is what gives us feelings and emotions, which also gives the feeling of being alive. But, what truly makes you alive is the fact that everything you are made out of was once part of another part of the universe, whether it be from a gas cloud or the dust of an exploded star from the other side of the universe. This recycled matter is what truly makes us alive because it makes us one with the universe and with everything that exists. We are a living part of the universe, just as the cells that make up our bodies are living parts of us.

[arwin100]

Yes im 100% sure im alive because  were breathing we have senses. Were not robot if u feel your not alive why are u still typing.   

[Berns]

I am. I am aware of its existence here and now . Man does not only consist of material of cells, but also of the mind, the soul

[Gohs]

No. I've always had serious difficulty believing that I exist or that any of this is truly happening. I can't be arsed to explain why but that's how it's always felt.

You are right, there is another reality asides the reality we know here on earth. It's called the spirit world...

[Xenophoto]

There are numerous theories out there about us being alive. There's a theory that says that all of the things that we are seeing are just a simple simulation. There're also ideas that says maybe all of us are just using virtual reality to experience this "present life" and we're all just stored safe and sound in a building in a world that we don't know yet. We'll come back to that "reality" once we die in this "present life".

You can have more and more ideas about us being alive and you can consider the fact that every single part of us is explainable, but at the bottom line of all of those theories it basically says that somewhere we are, in fact, alive.

[maydna]

yes i am alive and i am believe that i am alive, and now i really happy with my live, i really grateful of this. i am feeling that i can see and learn many think for good. nothing more happy when we can grateful with our life and feel and enjoy with our life, with or without money in our pocket.

[groll]

Cannot hardly help but to smile.  Well at first reading the subject makes my eyebrow to raise high.  I am alive and very much believe in that.  I cry, I smile, I laugh, I breathe.  Emotions makes us live.  Maybe you are into that question because of boredom?  Does not feel any purpose in life?  You are tired and lonely perhaps.  Atoms, cells, molecules were the foundation of our bodies.  But if you take out the emotions, the feels, the purpose of our being, then yes, you are dead.  Lifeless.  That makes you question if we believe that we are alive. 

[Xester]

Seriously?  You dig too much on the very flesh and component of your body structure.  Continue to do that and keep on thinking, you will find your self living on a hospital with fellow people on straight jackets.   

I am alive and I believe in that.  I am in pain sometimes, lonely, feel disappointed and terrible and wanted to be dead but seeing my dog Patchi and my cat Munang and seeing them doing their things makes my life alive.  Just find a reason to feel alive. 

[Rostadom]

Does it matter? Does it matter if we are truly alive? We were put in this world for no reason. Why don't we just enjoy it? We don't have to conduct experiments and have a bloody debate just to prove and disprove each other's points.

[ObscureBean]

Does it really matter how you define your state on earth though? How does that knowledge/definition help you? By defining something, through experiments, science, philosophy, religion etc you are essentially reducing infinity to a mere container. It makes the world around you less intimidating but at the same time it places a huge burden on your shoulders.

[Seansky]

I believe that I am alive and so are you. We can breathe, think, smile, move and many more. We have a brain and can make plans and decision. We also can feel love, pain, anger, the emotions that makes us feel alive. In addition to that, doesn't feeling happy about something makes you feel alive? When you don't eat for a long time you can feel if your hungry right? well in that case we are alive since you have your senses.

[carlisle1]

While you can still feel the pain you are still alive , and i can still feel the pain so it means i am still alive wth this just like a sort of out of the box questions from a job interview . I remembered the time when i was applying for a call center job and i was asked the same question by the interviewer , at first i knew that i will never pass the final interview .

[Daniel91]

Well, interesting question.
I had interesting discussion with Jehovah Witnesses the other day and they believe that death come to human world because of sin of Adam and Eve but originally, we should live forever and never die.
They believe that in the last days we will all resurrect and live forever, on the Earth.
Christians believe the same but they teach that our spirit is eternal, not body and that we will live in paradise.
Somehow, I more like first option

 

[Nowl1935]

As long as i felt pain im really sure that im alive. We are not alive if we don't have a Soul or Holy Spirit in our body.

[fiscorcle]

This is a wonderment that I had after watching the matrix. Are we really here.
Now it is more like Alice through the Looking glass.
