And I think your well being is in effect your life.
And if we think about what life in general is and what an individual's life is, we
get a sense of what well-being is.
Life is, I think Rand really aptly characterized it as a process of self-sustaining and self-generated action.
So a a life is an action, it's something you do.
It's not just you're alive versus dead, but your life is all the things going on in you, or a tree's life is all the things going on in it.
Which are its life and what are those things, as opposed to things that just happen to the tree or
whatever.
Well it's a process by which the tree sustains itself.
I might do other things too, like you know, reproduce and so forth, but the kind of baseline thing that it is most of the time is keeping itself going.
And so we can think about what is that process?
And it's different for different organisms.
For a tree, it's one kind of process involves photosynthesis and roots and fruiting and so forth.
For a wolf or a squirrel, it's a different process.
And for a human being, it's yet another process, right?
