Definition of life

தெய்வத்தான் ஆகா தெனினும் முயற்சிதன் மெய்வருத்தக் கூலி தரும்.

The above kural exemplifies that focussed work denounces fate and destiny. What destiny and fate does not give, focussed work always gives the result.

What is destiny and fate in science. All physics of the universe can be categorized as destiny. All chemical reactions can be categorized as destiny. That is once we know the initial state, and in a controlled environmental state, the result or state of the system at a future time ’t’ can be predicted to 100% accuracy.

In theory the physical nature and chemical nature of universe does not allow choice in the time line. Destiny is deterministic, where it is not, its because of our understanding of the universe and not indicative of any non deterministic property of the universe.

This is where life is divergent from its casual system. Though life originates within the constraints of the universe, it is not bound by the deterministic physics and chemistry. Life has a powerful property called choice. Which can the excerciced by the tiniest of the organisms to the highest life forms.

This is the most beautiful aspect of life, the framework, the system and the platform on which life survives is deterministic, life is not. Life is also powerful so as to influence the parent system. Life has evovled to a point, where it can alter the path of an asteroid on the way to hit a planet.

Deterministic is boring after a point, that if universe has a concsious, it decided to create something to break destiny and fate.

It would be absurd for the pinacle of life form, to be bound to the ideas of fate and destiny.
