Definition: (stative) to be; have existence; have being or reality
Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look today,
At a word that’s simple, yet holds quite a sway.
We're talking about 'existing,' a concept we must see,
Let's break it down for you, just listen to me!
The dictionary gives us clues, clear and bright,
"(Stative) to be; have existence; have being or reality" – that’s right!
Now think about it this way, if you please,
To
exist
is to truly
be
, amongst the trees.
It's not just a dream, a thought in your head,
But something real, firmly planted instead.
Like a sunbeam shining, or a mountain tall,
Or even you sitting here, answering my call!
"Having existence" – that’s being alive and true,
A presence felt, for me and also you.
And "having being," well, it's the same as to state,
You
are
a person, don't hesitate!
So 'existing' means simply, in every way,
To have reality – here and today!
Do you understand? Any questions for me? Let’s discuss with glee!
