Is Life actually Life? That is, is it different from anything/everything else?
I remember my mother musing at how something out of the univese's norm happened that triggered and brought about life. Look at the universe. Does it really do anything? There's a bunch of stuff that spins around. Not much else; right? Well there are sub things too and they basically do the same, no? Ok, there seems to be some kind of push and pull or am I just giving a bit too much of an attribute to a basic nothing. So then, if you examine life, is it any significantly different. Looking at it like this - the fact that it's such a tiny part of a tiny part of something that is so huge but probably also a tiny part, if life is significant at all, is it any different from all else? Which makes me wonder, if it is life at all - that it being life - what we call life - is it anything? Could you call our solar system life just as easily? Are there differences in the processes they go through? Is there justification for the awe, the amazement, the wars or the sheer joy at seeing a flower? Need I wonder?
