a very simple question

the question is extremely simple yet no one has found and answer to it yet in my knowledge. the question is this:

Who do we think we are to say that something is dead? What if we were the dead one? What tell's us that something is not alive?

some of you may answer that the standard is what tell us what is alive or not. But when you think about it, those standard's are very restrictive since they were made by the human race. Try this for a moment, rid yourself of all the standard's for what is alive or not that we have been teached since we were a mere child. The posibility becomes frightning does it not?

by writing those thing i am not trying to change you, so please remember that it is merly question i ask myself.
