I couldn't agree more, "Most people exist". I find myself falling in to "existing" all too often, then I shake it off fix myself in a spot and try to be fully present and conscious. The hard part is to be in this state during every day mundane tasks. A friend once said that children are constantly in a state of presence because everything is new to them. They don't live in a projected future or in the remembrances and regret of the past. If we were able to be fully present and not live in our "heads", I think the desire for "private property" would abate.

Great post. Followed.
