QUOTE(boots @ Dec 21, 2008, 05:48 PM)  How can we be both living and dying? I've pondered that question for a while now. I've determined that "living" is a state of being and "dying" is a state of becoming. But are we living only to die? There must be something else to live for. Experience maybe? I've often thought about something like this as well, but a little differently. Are we living until a point where we start to die? Or are we living until the moment we die? Or are we born and then spend the rest of our time dying until we actually die? I think this may just be a semantical problem/question. "Life perpetuates itself through diversity, and this includes the ability to sacrifice itself when necessary. Cells repeat the process of degeneration and regeneration until one day they die, obliterating an entire set of memory and information. Only genes remain. Why continually repeat this cycle? Simply to survive by avoiding the weaknesses of an unchanging system." - Ghost in the Shell |
