    A bit but I don’t mean it on a spiritual level. What we see as death are microorganisms taking things apart and integrating them into their lives.

      My bad, I didn’t mean that. I have a biased non-spiritual interpretation of daoism that is probably wrong.

      What we see as death are microorganisms taking things apart and integrating them into their lives.

      I did read your comment in that sense and I think it’s 100% accurate. The “non-human life is also life” argument is what resonates with [my interpretation] of daoism.

      And the koan-ish style of your comment, that also helps :).
