Life, as it is on Earth, is characterized by a few principles. The first one is multiplicity. This principle can be observed in a tree, a field of grass, in a pond, on a beach and everywhere else. As a matter of fact it is a principle of existence. There are many stars, many grains of sand, many leafs, and many atoms. The second principle of life is diversity. Life lives in its ecosystem. A lion can not survive without a deer. A deer can not survive without grass. Plants need bees, bees need plants. A heart need lungs and lungs need a heart. A left hand and a right hand work well together, so do fingers with diverse sizes and locations. Diversity is necessary. You need high mountains as well as deep oceans. You need swift rivers as well as solid rocks. You need oxygen as well as nitrogen. You need one species as well as another. Two eyes work better than one, two genders better than one, two magnetic poles better than one, two charges better than one. You need both night and day, both hot and cold, and both black and white. The ebb and flow of a wave propels the life forward. The cycles and the waves are the third principle of life and existence. Duality of nature is the fourth. Everything is both trivial and paramount at the same time.
