What keeps a human being alive?

Answer 1

The ability to survive.

Answer 2

Let me answer this question with a poem I myself wrote:


I'm just a baby bird
who has not yet taken flight
I'm news of which no one has heard
I cannot climb to any height
My life is a word-less book,
my soul an empty page
You can tell by the way I look
I don't always take center-stage
My insides are still pretty tiny
And my fear is rather big
I wish I were a star that was shiny
Dressing the night in its lovely rig
I'm like a rusty old lever,
though I don't feel really all that bad
That may be true, however
there are days when I'm extremely sad
I'm never going to survive
At least, sometimes that's what it seems
Yet, there are things that keep me alive
They're called my precious dreams

Answer 3

Biologically: air. food and water. Mentally: thought . Spiritually: God. Intellectually: learning. Emotionally: love.

The crazy thing is that these are all intertwined into who we are. However like a rope, it is what is at the core that makes the biggest difference (if the outside of a rope unravels and it has been wrapped around something strong then you still have something to grasp). But that's a question more about what it is that makes us human than what it is that keeps us alive.

Answer 4

I have long theorized that we humans stay alive with the energy/force derived from the ancestral chain aided with 'Collective Consciousness'. The latter to me is a (quasi) 5th force of nature.

As to how an inanimate molecule first became animate; we can attribute that for now, since there will be a scientific explanation in the years, decades, centuries or chiliads ahead, to an ultimate creator/god. When that explanation is reached, there will be something beyond that to be explained. We would hence have to go to god/creator ad infinitum.

I theorize that the force/energy that gave the first inanimate molecule life is the same force/energy that keeps us alive. This force could very well be the collective consciousness itself.
