Many persons live, but are Dead, and are not born until adulthood, so prematurely they learn to Die, and later they learn to LIVE.
Most persons define life with a lowercase l, that is, in a biologically reductionistic way; to identify whether they are alive, they check to see whether their heart is pounding and their brain is functioning.
Few persons define Life with a capital L, that is, philosophically, and it takes time for persons to learn to LIVE.
What is your capital L definition of life, or what are the requirements for someone to LIVE?

The unliving are those who have never let their childhood die, and been reborn into adulthood. I don't like to define things by what they are not, but sometimes that is easier. Living is beyond the "mate, breed and die" circle of life which all animals are a part of. But that can still be a part of LIVING as long as it is not the soul meaning. living is like being a leaf blowing in the wind, no direction known. Living is like flying with the wind in ever changing directions and with total awareness of what's happening.
