“"Ah! Sweet mystery of life."”
~ Naughty Marietta, 1910
Life is the state of being alive. It is not death. It is not undeath. No, life is positive state of being and living; of consuming, growing, and reproducing. Human beings live, as do animals and plants and fungi and bacteria. Debate still rages as to whether viruses are alive. Or fire. I am alive. Or is my life just a systematic delusion I'm going through? Is life just a point of view? Being and consciousness, these are confusing. Life should be cut and dry. Either you are alive or dead. To be alive, you have a physical body, a corporeal presence. Why do we live, why are we here?
