LIFE                
                                    
                                    
                                          
    A MULTITUDE OF DEFINITIONS      
       DOES    NOT   HELP.   WE       
      CAN     SAY     "LIFE     IS      
       WHAT    WE    ARE,   AND       
       WHAT  THINGS  LIKE  US       
       ARE",   BUT   THEN   WE        
     MUST    ALSO    DEFINE    WHAT     
     "THINGS  LIKE  US"  ACTUALLY     
      ENTAILS,  HOW IT SHOULD       
       BE   MEASURED,   WHO   OR      
     WHAT    IS     THE    ARBITER,     
       AND   SO   INSTEAD  THERE      
           IS   THIS   INTERNATIONALLY 
 SANCTIONED     LIST                   
           OF CRITERIA          
                                          
 - LIFE MUST PRODUCE OR CONSUME MILK      
 - LIFE MUST HAVE A BEGINNING AND AN END  
 - LIFE CAN HAVE DREAMS AND CAN INTERACT  
 - LIFE CAN STEAL                         
 - LIFE CAN BE CURSED
