Life is entropy. Life needs entropy. Life cannot exist without entropy. Nourishment, water and air is used and become waste. It is by this steady flow of order into disorder that life can exist.
Life is the ripples on the edge of the waterfall, as the water fall down into the abyss below.
A living being will some day become inanimate matter. Matter may become a living being again, but after a time it will become matter again. Everything of matter will one day return to matter. Everything will one day become matter. Energy is change or potential change.
