Dying is an ongoing process that ends in death. living is an ongoing process that ends in death. So really, they're synonyms and antonyms at the same time. Because no matter what, until death do you part, you're doing both at the same time. One defines the other.

Does that mean you aren't living if you aren't dying?

"Does that mean you aren't living if you aren't dying?"

doesn't this mean that by living, we are dying? and are we ever really alive? "Alive" doesn't seem to be as concrete a state as "dead."

Why do I feel like we should only have this conversation at 3am, while slightly intoxicated?

""Alive" doesn't seem to be as concrete a state as "dead.""

I think that's my point. When you're 'alive', you're in a constant state of flux and uncertainty. Its only defining feature really is that it's going to end in death. Well, plus things like gravity and taxes. Of course we're really "alive," it's just not the perfect antonym of being "dead" that we linguistically want to believe it is.

I think it's a 3am philosophical conversation by nature, but the electronic medium justifies it a bit.
