Life. With a capital "L".

Humans inhabit the Earth.
The Earth is a huge, orbiting celestial body that serves as home to millions of species.
Earth is but a tiny part of the vast, expansive universe.
So, to recap, we (as humans) are merely microscopic in comparison to the immensity of the universe.

And to life as well.
Suppose, then, if Life (with a capital "L") were to be a physical entity (though still intangible). It would encapsulate all of the species of Earth: plants, animals, humans--all have capital-L Life. Life, essentially, rents us. Once we die, what continues? Does Life stop?

No. One being may come to an end, but the rest of the species inhabiting the universe are possessed by Life, and continue to do so until Life has exhausted them. Life rents us. We are merely the bodies that house Life.

Right?
