Read Martin Heidegger
He is a german philosopher who adresses this question in extreme depth.
He comes to the conclusion that to dwell is to live.
from the german word dwell he draws to be and to be is to exist therefore to dwell is to exist as a human on earth.

It is the old English word for "to live in", "to abide". "Where do you dwell?" means "Where do you live?"
