or should i say THE PART WE ARE YET TO UNDERSTAND!!!!
so far, i have been thinking of 'life' as the combination of 'feeling/thinking' and 'nature'... (as in while making sex, we FEEL the love and leave the seed to our spouse's womb, which is the nature part of it.)
today, while i was sowing some seeds in my garden, i found that i was missing something..... EVEN PLANTS HAVE LIFE and is passed on from plant to its sibling via a SEED - a place where the plant stores the LIFE for long time and the seed comes to life only when conditions (dampness, sun, etc) favour it to.
then i thought who is doing the THINKING part here???? is it the plant/tree??
if we make a scar on the tree bark, who is healing it over the time? if we chop off a branch, who is commanding it to produce a new one over there???? who is making a decision to create a tasty, wonderfully scented and attractively colored pulp around a seed of a tree so that we/animals, eager to eat that 'false fruit' help in spreading the breed of that tree!!!!!????
and finally, when we sow a old, dried grain and water it, how does a separate life spring out of it???
IS THE PLANT THINKING OF ALL THESE???
then my perspective went onto the dimension of TIME. I applied the TIME part to this theory.....
short lived things like-a mosquito-for example, lives for say 10 days - it doesn't know that human beings take birth, grow old and die.... because it's life span is very short when compared....
similarly, a dog, whose life span is between 7 and 14 years may just know that humans grow. and before it's master dies, the dog may die.....
now, i thought, may be everything around us is alive.....
may be we are the short lived animals if compared to trees and even from a granule of sand to huge continents, planets, stars, etc.....
may be our life span is not long enough to see the BRAINS of a tree and it's ancestors....
scientists now-a-days discovered that all the dry part of earth was one before it separated itself to continents....
they just studied the MOVEMENT of the tectonic plates....
may be we are missing the other metabolic activities in the system.....
or may be we are too short lived in comparision to their metabolic activities..... (it may sound funny though...)
and similarly, may be we are too short-lived to study their 'THINKING'...... (now, this definitely sounds CRAZY)
and speaking about extra-terrestrial (alien) life.....
we are searching for life on mars, jupiter, saturn etc...
when my weight is 60 kg on earth, i may weigh only 10 kg on moon.... thatz because the moon's gravitational pull is only 1/6th of that of earth. and if we let a child grow on moon, he may grow taller as the gravitational pull from ground to his body parts is lower.
similarly, when something is living on jupiter, the thing will be shorter and heavier. at the same time, it will have very sluggish movements and metabolic activities. may be the things living on jupiter are made of silicon tissue. may be they breathe nitrogen or some other gas for respiration.... may be we are taking them as mere 'rocks and mountains' and may be we humans never spent enough time to observe their activities on their planet!!
...... now coming back to 'the seed, the plant, the rock, the continent, the planet' thing,,... take something in common..... the unexplained part of it.... we lack time to explain it....
how is the 'life' given to sperm of an animal undergoing sexual reproduction???
how is the 'life' given to the seed of a plant undergoing sexual reproduction??????
how does a mere pollen grain turn to seed only when it falls into the ovule(or whatever they call it)???
how does a sperm form a animal only when it fertilises the egg after swimming in un-favourable acidic fluids and wins a race with millions of it's brothers and sisters to fertilise ???
why can't a granule of sand or a carbon atom fertilise an egg????
whats that special, unexplained part called 'life' actually is??????
