People breathing through life, or "Breathers," lack personal direction in life. They could be super successful and have life's indicators of success: McMansions, beautiful families, Lotsa dough, and expensive vacations to overcrowded sardine deathtraps. But instead, they pursue lives that society tells them are the ultimate ideal.
"Breathers" are not confined to any particular social group, nor is it a permanent state of being. Everyone at some point is a "Breather." It could be the times you were lost for direction, stayed in a job for the sake of the money, or your ambitions crashed so spectacularly you lost all hope. It's living simply for the sake of living without meaning. Some people zone in and out of this state, but it will be how they live until the kingdom comes for some unfortunate souls.
Contrary to what we were told, we don't need to be Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates to have a life well-lived. More often, those who have the least materially live the most. Unfortunately, our drive to "do big things" and "reach for the stars" has fucked more people than it helped. Take a look around and see the swath of disappointed souls that "failed" in life. They exist all around us: Our friends and family…take a look in the mirror; it could be us.
