“Alive” simply means active, alert, animate, breathing, existing, full of spirit, having functional organs, having life, living, not dead, possessing heartbeat, unextinguished, vibrant, etc.
Some question: You may be living, but are you really “alive”? Some think that being alive in the “real sense” involves being grateful, challenging or testing yourself, developing and growing at every moment, experiencing life to the fullest, having your own interpretation of everything, living a meaningful life, loving what you have, thinking you belong here, etc. Some emphasize that Albert Einstein is alive because of legacy of his actions; and a piece of paper becomes alive when something important is drawn, painted or written on it.
