The experience of being alive
I don’t believe people are looking for the
meaning of life as much as they are looking for
the experience of being alive.
Joseph Campbell

No one better to sum up the meaning of being than the man who founded the heroes journey theory of being. Good quote.
It reminds me, however, of another quote on being that I read in a book on business:
“People who cannot invent and reinvent themselves must be content with borrowed postures, secondhand ideas, fitting in instead of standing out.” – Warren Bennis

There’s a Zen saying that notes “that men spend so much time trying to define life, they don’t have time to live it.’ Seem similar in sentiment to your quote.
