Either you say yes, or you say no. But it's hard to dispute fact. For the Big LIfe (that's us) to live, little lives must live.

You've been saying all along that our bodies are temples...you are right!

Q

big life & little lives & we are temples - yes & right. yet i want to put it into my own words & i cant do it properly .
i was going to go with Life, the cereal by the quaker oats company.

Life is a multi-faceted concept with no simple definition

a characteristic state or mode of living; "social life"; "city life"; "real life"
the course of existence of an individual; the actions and events that occur in living; "he hoped for a new life in Australia"; "he wanted to live his own life without interference from others"
the experience of living; the course of human events and activities; "he could no longer cope with the complexities of life"
animation: the condition of living or the state of being alive; "while there's life there's hope"; "life depends on many chemical and physical processes"
the period during which something is functional (as between birth and death); "the battery had a short life"; "he lived a long and happy life"
the period between birth and the present time; "I have known him all his life"
liveliness: animation and energy in action or expression; "it was a heavy play and the actors tried in vain to give life to it"
biography: an account of the series of events making up a person's life
the period from the present until death; "he appointed himself emperor for life"
a living person; "his heroism saved a life"
living things collectively; "the oceans are teeming with life"
a motive for living; "pottery was his life"
the organic phenomenon that distinguishes living organisms from nonliving ones; "there is no life on the moon"
life sentence: a prison term lasting as long as the prisoner lives; "he got life for killing the guard"
