Being alive means having existence, consciousness, and experience. Philosophically, it can also refer to the capacity for cognition, feeling, meaningful action, growth, and connection with others. Finally, there may not be a single definition that fully captures all aspects of aliveness, as it remains a deeply debated question across many fields of study.<|im_end|>
