(This is the first part of my posting on Life's Lovely! Love & Live Life!)

LIFE'S LOVELY! LOVE & LIVE LIFE!
(This is my favorite saying, as many of my friends know. And I've found someone aping me on another blog and using a similar alliteration-That's fine with me, for isn't this the best form of flattery?}

So what do I mean by this statement?

LIFE

Life is not just breathing or eating or sleeping or the various .....ings that we associate with it.

There is definitely more to each and every life in this cosmos, every small virus, and every huge whale and maybe life forms yet to be discovered have a meaning - meaning to whom? or what? since we are human, most of us ARE narcissi enough to presume this refers to us humans. So a virus could be bad from a human perspective, while yeast that forms the yogurt is good for humans.

So are we right? I believe in life, it's mostly good from some perspective or the other. And I don't want to limit the definition of life to humans or the inhabitants of this globe, I'd like to include all the creatures in this cosmos.

To know about the cosmos and the creatures that inhabit it, I must first define myself- So what am I?

Well here's my general thinking on that:

Let's look at things this way - I am a citizen of the three physical dimensional (plus the fourth dimension being time) cosmos which itself may be one cosmos in the multitude of multiple dimensional cosmos (plural).

My cosmos contains my universe which contains my local cluster of galaxies which contains the my galaxy - the Milky Way Galaxy, on one of the outer peripheries of one of my galaxy's spiral arms is Sol (my star) which contains my planet Earth which contains the continent of Asia which contains my country India which contains Karnataka - the state in which I currently reside in, which contains my city of residence Bangalore which contains the suburb I live in, which contains the street I live on, which contains my house.

My universe is estimated to be around 10-15 billion years, old, my star -Sol or Sun a middle aged second generation 5 billion year star, life on my planet is estimated to have evolved around 3-4 billion years ago, my species around 2-4 million years ago and I'll consider myself fortunate if I live even for one-tenth of a millennium.

On a cosmic scale, even my galaxy may appear as just a blemish and may be unnoticeable in the fabric of space, and I would not even be the size of a speck- but - the ripple that I (any creature) could cause in the still waters (the cosmos) could change the course of history, of space of existence/s. So why should I limit myself to a country or a race or a caste or a religion or a continent or a creed, species, planet or......... As I said - I am a citizen of the cosmos (plural).

There can never be anyone else like me at this point in space in this given instant of time ever. I am unique (and so is every other creature!).
