Life is.....

As a scientist, I am not sure anymore that life can be reduced
to a class struggle, to dialectical materialism, or any set of formulas.
Life is spontaneous and it is unpredictable, it is magical.
I think that we have struggled so hard with the tangible that we have forgotten the intangible.
