All life is composed of a basic unit- the cell. Sequences of the DNA called genes direct a complicated series of chemical pathways within the cell. These chemical pathways permit life. A cell may eat, move, respond to the environment, grow and make copies of itself. The goal is to better understand our life.
Understanding leads to purpose and self-guidance.
We train our bodies and minds to improve our chance at survival. Each of us can invest our lives with meaning and richness in the struggle. We can pass on these lessons to our young.
