A Short Thought: What Is The Real Definition of Life?

For me, life is something that works for its own survival. But if I will scientifically analyze its definition. Maybe, I will define it as a series of chemical reactions that support each other in order to provide reactants to produce new products needed for an another reaction.

We all know that everything we see around us is made of atoms. Except for the light and other things that can be made up of other particles.

Because we are made of atoms, our bodies undergo in different chemical reactions like how we digest foods in order to separate compounds needed for nourishment.
