I believe there is a difference!.
We talk about existence in a general sense!.
Where as existing is more temporally oriented as a term for things that currently exist!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

it depends on the context!. existence as in life: a person can be alive but not truly live!. existence as in a mason jar: that mason jar exists!. that mason jar continues existence!. must be boring to be a mason jar!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think there is a difference!. Existence means a person has found meaning and purpose!. Existing does not, a person can be existing but be doing nothing with their life!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
