Re: What is life?

midas,

Perhaps I have been reading you wrongly. However speaking of metaphysics, metaphysics is a slippery slope kind of deal, without keeping at least one foot within the realm of reality, metaphysics slides easily into fantasy. As Schopenhauer stated of philosophers, if they build castles with abstract intangiables, they must frequently touch the earth, or lose crediability. You need stand on something solid to reach out.
