AN APPROACH TO LIFE

Scholars have spent a lot of time trying to stablish the border of life. Their biggest question is not: "What is a living being?", but "where is the border between animate and inanimate?. The answer is: "nowhere". Every thing in the universe is living; from the tiniest subatomic particle up to the universe itself:  Everything: atoms, virusses, horses and so on. The changes we can observe in obviously living ones happen at a pace we can someway watch; but when a thing appears to be immutable we think  inanimate. However things we feel without any kind of life, because we can't see within any change at  all, could be really changing but too slow for us to perceive.
A single atom of gold, for instance, could be able to replicate itself  millions of times up to colonize a gold mine as animals do colonizing their echological niches. How many eons could spend that initial gold atom to become a gold nugget?. And if gold is not able to replicate in such thar way, how can we easily explain this nugget we have found?.
Nevertheless, everything are not alive; just things men make are not living ones. We have huge frustration by can not create; we can make things, but we are not able of make any living thing; at last we are nor gods. But all nature makes is vibrating, full of life. There is nothing more changing than the simplest atom of hydrogen. From it all life is generated.
