Description

The most outstanding qualification among the living and lifeless things is that the

previous keep up themselves by restoration. A stone when struck stands up to. In the event that its

obstruction is more noteworthy than the power of the blow struck, it remains ostensibly

unaltered. Else, it is broken into little pieces. Never does the stone

endeavor to respond so that it might keep up itself against the blow, much

less to deliver the blow a contributing component to its own proceeded with activity.

While the living thing may effortlessly be squashed by unrivaled power, it none the less

attempts to transform the energies which follow up on it into methods for its own further

presence. On the off chance that it can’t do as such, it doesn’t simply part into littler pieces (in any event in

the higher types of life), however loses its way of life as a living thing.

However long it suffers, it battles to utilize encompassing energies for its own benefit.

It utilizes light, air, dampness, and the material of soil. To state that it utilizes them is to

state that it transforms them into methods for its own preservation.
