["Existence is alive." Huh? What existence? We are aware and alive, certainly, but how are you claiming that the paper on my desk is aware and alive?]
The existence of everything. I am claiming that what took the form of a piece of paper is aware and alive. I cannot say the paper is aware-only what constitutes it. I can, however, state with all truthfulness the paper is alive. It is moving-living, albeit slowly, very slowly, and within a boundary-which creates the illusion of a piece of paper.

I disbelieve! I disbelieve! Oh GAWD, I'm disbelieving!!!
wait, wait--I saw this in The Matrix , right? "There is no spoon."
Well, the paper is made of organic material that USED to be alive. But to say that EVERYTHING is alive because "what constitutes it" is alive basically is to contend that all atoms, individually, are alive -- and there is absolutely nothing about such an assertion that is true or even makes sane sense.
No, paper is not alive. Ever seen the five characteristics of life in a biology class? Life:
Bogart used to smoke cigarettes by letting them dangle, and not really inhaling, while he delivered his lines. The cigarette was thus "wasted" because it was lit and burning but he wasn't actually smoking.
David D.G. : It is a term named after Humphrey Bogart because of the way he held a cigarette in his mouth. It started in the late sixties. To "bogart" a joint is to keep it to yourself without sharing it. There was actually a song titled Don't Bogart That Joint, My Friend . I can't remember who did it, though.

A statement that makes no sense.

An assertion without evidence.
It is moving-living, albeit slowly, very slowly, and within a boundary-which creates the illusion of a piece of paper.
Another statement that makes no sense.
Thanks for playing but please, don't play again.
"And that, my friend, is why you have to use a bong, instead of rolling papers!"
Confused?
