I get what you are saying and I'm not excusing overly negative people. I'm just giving another POV to this "debate". I don't think "living" and "surviving" is the same thing. Living is positive, cheerful, light and wonderful. Even tho some obstacles might show up in your path you can overcome them without following back to the "surviving" counterpart. Surviving, on the other hand, is a state of mind that some of us have when you are lower then the gutter. Instead of fighting to get up those ppl fight to not keep getting deeper and that constant fight drains the possible energy they might have to make their way out.
I know that life is about surviving but my differentiation was intended to not be followed to the complete nature of the word, more like a figurative expression, if it makes any sense.
