Life

The life is the capability to act and behave, by a body.

The starting point, to think of life may be study of life started on earth. It is believed that, the first live creature was created in sea. Many molecules in oceon, were accidentally come together under lightening. etc, and the first micro organism was created. This organism can perform basic characteristic of life. It was unicellular (having one cell. Cell is the basic functioning unit of life, which has growth and reproducability.) The molecules which constitute a cell have a tendancy to be together, perform spontaneous action-reactions, which cause different stages, in its life time. A siezure of life is stopping of these action-reactions. The spontaneous chain of actions performed by an object, makes it grow, reproduce and then it attains a stage where, growth stops. later, at some other point of time, the functionaing itself stops. This constitutes a life cycle.
The reproduction results in offspring, which has a similar life cycle. This continuation is a characteristic of life, there is a way in which every species has got mechanism to continue its existance across the generations. The similarity of life cycle is another characteristic of life. The lifecycle of the organism will be similar in all generations. One important characteristics of life is perseverance for existance. Any danger to its existance is resisted by life furiously. A stone would resist when somebody tried to break it by its mere material strength. A live organism, can perform many variery of actions, when there is a danger.

Upto now, with whatever exploration that has been done by human race, they have not yet found any other planet where life can exist. That means, not all situations give rise to life. Particular conditions can only give rise to existance of life. But, there may be another possibility. There may be life in our explored part of universe, where life exists, still, with present ability of ours we are not able to find it. Or, that which doesnt fit into our definition of life.

What I finally feel is life is a manifestation of energy. A way in which energy shows its presence. But, this way of expressing itself, is of special kind, where there is a practice and characteristic associated with material.

There might be a singular thing with each life. The lifespan sensed by each of creature may be same. Consider, a butterfly which hardly lives for a day and an elephant which live for years. A butterfly will experience birth, growth and death in a small span of time. But, an elepant take years to pass through those stages. It may be vaguely concluded that, the amount of life span felt by each type of live creature will be same. A minute of butterfly life is equivalent to a year of human life.
