It is useless to attempt to preserve a living species unless the kind of land or water it requires is also preserved. So delicately interwoven are the relationships that when we disturb one thread of the community fabric we alter it all — perhaps almost imperceptibly, perhaps so drastically that destruction follows.
Rachel Carson, Lost Woods

In the eyes of many human beings, life appears to be a unique and special phenome­non. There is, of course, some truth to this belief, since no other planet is known to bear a rich and complex biosphere. However, this view betrays an "organic chauvinism" that leads us to underestimate the vitality of the processes of self­-organization in other spheres of reality. It can also make us forget that, despite the many differences between them, living creatures and their inorganic counter­ parts share a crucial dependence on intense flows of energy and materials. In many respects the circulation is what matters, not the particular forms that it causes to emerge.
Manuel DeLanda, A Thousand Years of Nonlinear History

Fühlst du dich manchmal einsam?
Manchmal weiß man gar nicht mehr was man fühlt oder wer man ist. Es ist dann alles zuviel. Und dann kommt der Punkt wo man nur noch da ist und exestiert. Die Gedanken und Gefühle existieren nur noch, sind da und du bist da.
Du bist der Organismus der mittendrin ist und auch nur exestiert.
Du empfindest gar nichts mehr. Keine Hoffnung, keine Freude, keine Motivation. Es ist nicht Mal so als würdest du Trauer, Einsamkeit oder ect fühlen.
Du bist einfach an einem Punkt wo du "neutral" bist. Du funktionierst und exestiert nur noch.
Du bist die Hülle, die Gestalt eines Menschens und innen drinnen bist du schwarz, Chaos, gespalten, undefinierbar.

A quiz reminded me of the mushroom post quote "decay exists as an extant form of life". But that applies to all living organisms, not just mushrooms, if you really think about thermodynamics. Life IS decay.
Like, the mushroom itself doesn't decay any more than we all do. We all are fighting against the decay of our bodies, death is just when we stop fighting. We all consume our environment to stay alive. The universe decays into thermal energy with each breath we take.
Every living organism is like a ship of Theseus that's falling apart at the same rate it's getting repaired, desperately scrambling to get enough building materials from it's environment to survive.

"Researchers at the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG) have discovered a new quality control mechanism that regulates energy production in human cells. This process takes place in mitochondria, the power plants of the cell."
"Mitochondria play a central role for cellular metabolism. Therefore, malfunctions of the mitochondria lead to serious, often fatal, heart, muscle or nerve diseases. Mitochondria are surrounded by two membranes, an outer and an inner one, which separate them from the surrounding cell. The final conversion of food into energy takes place in the inner membrane. Proteins are involved in this process.
Central proteins for energy production are formed in the mitochondria, transported to the inner membrane and inserted there. The protein OXA1L is mainly responsible for the insertion of proteins into the membrane, where larger complex structures are formed with other proteins that interact with each other and ensure energy production. How the incorporation and assembly of these structures works in detail has been poorly investigated thus far."
