It seems to me a very narrow view of the "world of beings" Life for me must be view in the ambit of every being, life and non-life, minerals, vegetables, animals, man, and in the possibility of other rational beings, may it be spiritual ones (angels, gods, demons whatever) or alien life forms.
As you say, vegetables depend on dead organism, exactly my point. organism that once has life are non-living things, just chemical composition that can easily be replicated in a lab. |
midas,
It is all well and good to appreciate life on different levels, it is however a disserves to oneself and others to deny the foundation upon which things are built. It is the reality of a common self, that enables humanity to access its sense of compassion, not only for his fellow man but, for his fellow creatures. However once you have graduated to angels, evil spirits and other beings of the mists, you have left the concept of being grounded in reality. Certainly view your world in as full a spectrum as possible, to deny any known aspect of it, is a disserves to it, to add to it what does not rightfully belong to its reality, is to, a disserves.
