"To Live or To Exist?", the question is perennial. Alas! the answer is ephemeral.
The question is irrelevant as long as it is answered. Changing answers don't help the cause, but is the nature of existence.
To each, there is but an island of life in a sea of existence. A choice to stay ashore is to be made every second on the slippery slopes of life, lest you drown in existence.
The need to exist everyday draws you to life, the desire to live one day keeps you existing.
To live beyond existence is romantic, to exist beyond life is haunting, to live in your existence is fulfilling.
Live!

Ponder
How
Head into your existence crossing new horizons everyday,
Horizons within boundaries but beyond the bent of mind,
Surrender your siege and cease your confinement,
Look in, to reach out and reach out, to reach in.
Short commentary:
Keep stretching yourself beyond your comfort levels, beyond what you perceive yourself as. Whatever you are holding tightly, be it the principles, the ideals or the notions of right & wrong, all are actually holding you back.
If you intend to reach out and help others, look into yourself for your needs. The world out there is not much different. If you desire love give love, if you desire prosperity give prosperity and if you need comfort, give comfort. And if you actually intend to reach in to yourself and be in sync with yourself, just reach out and be of service to others, thus gaining the satisfaction and contentment of the self.
The self exists as a dual identity by the virtue of wanting to serve others and non dual by the virtue of understanding a higher self serving whom, contentment arises thus serving itself. "How" is a process of moving between these two states of the self, exploring the source and the destination of itself.
