what does it mean to truly live?

Throughout the chapters and sections of Fahrenheit 451, a reader may notice the feelingless, the "greyness" of the citizens. The emotionless people in this book are often found in reality. do you ever notice the person who is always on the run? The one who you can never get in contact with? they are most likely a person who hardly has time to sit and relax. The average U.S. citizen has less than one hour to sit down, think, and relax. The people in the book have the same qualities. They don't sit down and think. they only go or waste their time on mindless talk or watching giant televisions or listening to meaningless talk all day, day in and day out.
Sometimes people should take a break form reality. Just sit, relax, and think about your day. I feel that the only way to live your life is actually living. You cant spend your whole life working or on the run because its just not healthy to put all that stress an yourself all the time. Some people do not realize that they have the potential to do amazing things. Go on, learn a new language, go skydiving, travel the world, do whatever pleases you, because the only thing that should matter is happiness, and that is the key to truly living.
