Existential Crisis

Are you alive or are youd dead?
You would certainly argue that you are alive right?
Who gets to decide what is alive and what isn't?

Us humans have always thought of ourselves as something magical. Something bordering the divine, created by God. Anything that is not human, has therefore been seen as inferior.

However when you get down to the cellular level, our reality shatters and we enter a realm that we don’t fully understand.

In the simplest form, DNA is that code makes you. Our cells are like tiny machines that execute that code that ends up making you you.
Viruses on the other hand are not alive, although they also have genetic material such as DNA or RNA, they don't fit our definition of being alive because they need a host in which the code can be executed.

At the end of the day, does it even matter if viruses or your are alive?
After all you are God.
