Do You Feel Alive?

Would the feeling of being alive be associated by the accomplishments we make, the social circles we surround ourseleves with, the amount of work we have to perform everday either work, study or personal.

I wonder...

I would go with both the sense of accomplishment and the social circle based on how often we mingle with people socially.

On the other hand, there is a whole aspect that can be used for this discussion; the spirituality aspect. This would include the religious affect we might get by performing any religious oriented action (Example; prayer).

However, back to spirituality; is having the feeling of being alive enough to know we are alive? how do you measure your status of being alive...

personally, I sense I am more of a full-time zombie / part-time alive. 

It's quite relaxing at the time being...
