What does it mean to live?


What does it mean to live?
We eat, we sleep, and we breathe.
We do so much.
But for what?

What does it mean to live?
We do a daily routine.
Some are drab, 
others need thrill.
Yet we're all alive.
But for what?

Whad does it mean to live?
Why are we here?
What is our purpose?
Everday we seek these answers.
We want to know.
It is a thirst for knowledge.
A curiosity that keeps us alive.
