Life... is a blessing, a curse, it's what we hope for, it's what we dread, it's what we celebrate, it drains our spirit, it fills our hearts. It is precious, it is taken for granted, it is potential, it is God given. It has great worth. It can be used in good ways to multiply that worth... or it can damage others or actually take the essence of life from another. Though hard to describe, still harder to hold... it is the most valuable of things that we know. Life can be seen... in the joy on an expectant mother's face, in the glow lover's share... in the pain one experiences in the loss of another. Life is many many different things at different times in all of our lives. Not something that we can accurately define really... we are just privileged to experience a portion of it.

life can be analyzed on many levels. Biology, philosophy and theology have different approaches to defining life. I personally do not think that life can be reduced to biochemical processes. While I do not affirm that there is an immaterial aspect to human existence, I believe in God. God is not reducible to what biology can discern or find. Therefore, life is rich, complex and irreducible to simple analyses. Try to define the essence of humanity and I believe you will run into similar problems.

Life: that quality that distinguishes a vital and functional being from a dead body or an inanimate object. Merriam Webster Dictionary.
Life is a complex quality of animals, plants and fungi. It is not well understood. But if animals are threatened with its loss they become very agitated so it seems valuable.

Life is, in my belief, a radical part of a complex algorythm that causes variations in the wavelength that is the universe. A chaos in a perfect order. I believe the goal of any living creature is to simply live. Happiness is acheived on a biochemical level when one complies to the nature of their more simplistic brain function.

There is always some doofus asking totally inane questions like yours in the psychology section. Life is something you apparently do not have.

Life's a little child; he/she cries or laughs, and never experiences the in between.
