    I listened ''Time'' by Pink Floyd,and it makes me think about everything.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYiahoYfPGk

    Ticking away the moments
    That make up a dull day
    Fritter and waste the hours
    In an off-hand way

    Kicking around on a piece of ground
    In your home town
    Waiting for someone or something
    To show you the way

    Tired of lying in the sunshine
    Staying home to watch the rain
    You are young and life is long
    And there is time to kill today

    And then the one day you find
    Ten years have got behind you
    No one told you when to run
    You missed the starting gun


    And you run and you run
    To catch up with the sun
    But it's sinking

    Racing around
    To come up behind you again
    The sun is the same
    In a relative way
    But you're older

    Shorter of breath
    And one day closer to death

    Every year is getting shorter
    Never seem to find the time

    Plans that either come to naught
    Or half a page of scribbled lines

    Hanging on in quiet desperation
    Is the English way

    The time is gone
    The song is over
    Thought I'd something more to say

    Home
    Home again
    I like to be here
    When I can

    When I come home
    Cold and tired
    It's good to warm my bones
    Beside the fire

    Far away
    Across the field
    Tolling on the iron bell
    Calls the faithful to their knees
    To hear the softly spoken magic spell...


    Think about this.

    i was thinking today what is the difference between organic substance and minerals. humans are made of carbon along with most life forms. we need minerals and vitamins to survive. so if you go down to the smallest life forms are they also made from minerals? and would that make them organic if they are almost entirely of said minerals.

    Life is found in the place called home:

    Home
    Home again
    I like to be here
    When I can

    When I come home
    Cold and tired
    It's good to warm my bones
    Beside the fire

    yeah but home isn't just a house,u know what i mean,you could live in one country but feel like your home isn't there,i don't know if you understand me.
    I think that we should spend more time with the people we love,and forget about problems,live life!

    I think of it as a metaphor. Home can then be a state of mind.

    It's good to warm my bones
    Beside the fire

    Life is life, I mean life is no rocket science if you don't take it too seriously. If you start taking the life too seriously, it becomes an insolvable issue really. Just for example, sit ad start thinking about what life is? Why I am here in this world? What is my objective over here? What will happen after I'd die? After sometime, you will get a feeling of madness and you will be obsessed with it.

    well if you want to talk about physical life, that consists of digestion and reproduction.

    if instead the intent is to refer to the larger question of existence, that is capable of being sustained by awareness of existing alone, with or without any physical aspect being involved.
