Living things or not ?

How do you define anything as living,alive or a life on it's own?
Stop for a moment and ponder on this question?
What are the living things?
To breathe and move are living species,
From up on land and down the ocean floor.
And what about the air we breathe,
The water we eagerly drink,
The sun we get shine on,
Or the stars and moon we gaze upon?
Are these living or not?
Where is their eyes,heart and soul?
Do they get angry,happy or sad?
Do they make babies just like that?
Please tell me coz I like to know the facts.
P.S...Did you know hurricanes have names!

I creation as a whole is alive,when we consider the cycles of life its as if creation has a voice of its own,their own unique emotions that differentiates one from the other,when you look at a rainbow what emotion comes to mind or black clouds or even a storm?

Inanimate wonders of creation can also be termed as being alive,the stars,the seas,the moon,the expanse above.I get a little passionate when speaking about one of my favourite topics 'creation'laugh so i would end by saying great write and glad to see that my poem inspired you friendpeace

I meant to say 'i think' at the begining of my previous comment,sorry and to add as you rightly stated even hurricanes have names,but though these inanimate objects dose'nt have a soul or mind of its own i often see it as a reflection of Gods cardinal attributes of love,joy,power,justice,wisdom.cheers

well.....you asked for the facts and here are the facts: the avifauna of Antarctica includes a total of 45 species, of which 1 is endemic. one might peer down upon these findings and ponder 'how do we get that one back, back into the fold'? I suppose that great sweeping nets may be of some help but they won't really address the question of social parameters of avifauna. they're out of control! right now, the number of them racing through your bloodstream is second to...no, third to, make that fourth; to burgers, fries, and pizza. and then you have to deal with them. are you ready for that?

Well, they just found evidence of running water on mars lol Life is diverse in its complexity, to the extreme freezing and very hot areas of our earth. I'm somehow certain there is other life out there somewhere, if not would it not be just a waste of space? lol

I should expand on my comment to mean "ancient evidence of running water". Thanks!!
