Life, from birth to deathLife (in general)

Life (lif) n., pl. lives - that property or quality that plants and animals that distinguishes them from inorganic matter or dead organisms; specif., the cellular biochemical activity or processes of an organism, characterized by the ingestion of nutrients, the storage and use of energy, the excretion of wastes, growth, reproduction, etc.

Life, as they say, is good.

Perhaps the strongest reason behind giving life a favorable review is the sheer fact that without life, there wouldn't be any reviewing to do. It sounds tautological, but it's really true. However, the real important issue in a review is, of course, customer satisfaction.

I think that most people you will find will say that life has, all and all, been worth living. Perhaps more importantly, however, is the fact that even the people who will tell you otherwise are still unwilling to give it up, which I feel puts a bit of a blotch on their consistency, or that they have high hopes that it will get better later.

Of all the complaints against life, however, the most prevalent concern seems to about death. However, this can be construed as yet another plus for life, since the thing that people like the least about life is not having it anymore.

So all in all, I give it 4.5 out of five stars. It would have gotten a perfect score, but I believe that planned obsolescence is an immoral business practice, and also, good god I can't believe she left me, I can't believe she really left me.
