The reason why they are being kept alive

I read it. As you said, we are not plants, nor are we simply animals. They are humans who perceive and think for themselves. It's not God at the same time.
I think the meaning of being kept alive as you mentioned is that I find the meaning of our lives, aim for the right path, and become a happy existence. At the same time, I think it's about getting rid of all anxiety and hesitation and living that life with peace of mind.
I don't know why I was born into this world. However, I understand that they were born and nurtured through various relationships. Also, there is some kind of mission or need, and I feel that they are being utilized.
Hopefully, I too will be freed from any suffering and would like to have a perfect existence, and similarly, I would like all living people and living creatures to be completely happy.

I don't know if that's the answer, but I'll answer it.

This is Kawaguchi Hidetoshi. This is my humble answer to the question.

Certainly, it is often used as “being kept alive...” and “being kept alive...”, in other words, we also understand well that we are beings that cannot be formed without being dependent on anything else, and in our case, if possible, let's value our appreciation and consideration for what has been kept alive; we must not be greedy or contentious, we must not be self-centered, help each other, support each other, and share. I'm using it in the sense that it means.

Anyway, the reason, meaning, purpose, and value of life do not exist as an entity that can be determined and said “this is it,” but these conceptual things are also made up of relying on others.

For example, simply, it is possible that it depends on causation (cause and condition), and if it is a good causal relationship, it is something that is the reason, meaning, purpose, and value as a good result, and if it is a bad causation, it is a bad result.

I would like to endeavor to arrange the best possible causal relationship so that it becomes a good reason, meaning, purpose, and value.

Nice to meet you. My name is Kameyama Junshi.
What does “being kept alive” mean? For example, when you are sick, you are “being 'kept alive' by medicine.” The sentence that says will hold true. This is “I am able to live a healthy life thanks to medicine.” I mean, that medicine is working to deny my condition as an illness. That makes it possible for me to live a healthy life.
Now, when the meaning or purpose of life is questioned, the phrase “being kept alive,” which is often said as an answer, is due to many causes and causes, and in another way, it means Buddha's mercy. At that time, the Buddha kept me alive, and it not only affirmed me, but was also trying to deny my state — which is an egocentric way of being — as in the analogy of the medicine mentioned earlier.
Therefore, it can be said that the meaning of being kept alive (by the Buddha's mercy) is “because I am changed by the Buddha's mercy.”
These are my answers. Please use it as a reference.

My name is Shakkeishin.

I was able to take a look.

“Know the pleasure of being kept alive by the serenity of the morning as it dawns white”

This is a poem my grandfather read in his hospital bed.

Regardless of Buddhism, etc., simply arrange everything by yourself, go fishing,
I saved my fishing gear myself, started a fire, made my own seasoning salt, and even if I did something about the house by myself, I still couldn't say that I was living alone, so I'm being kept alive.

We can only exist by being kept alive in every relationship.

That's probably me.

It's not the difference between plants and animals.

I didn't just come out here one day.

The meaning of being kept alive.

There's always something I want you to laugh at and live.

That's why we're here now.

Without wishes, we wouldn't exist.

I have a duty to live until people say thank you for your hard work and well done.

We also have a mission to tell you about it.

There are social environment and political issues surrounding us, such as warpua.
However, not everyone in the same environment has the same results.

Also, happiness through comparison does not come forever.

I am reminded of the joy that is being kept alive in my wishes, and I have no choice but to live my happiness.
