Every moment we are fighting with external nature, and if we are defeated, our
life has to go. It is, for instance, a continuous struggle for food and air. If
food or air fails, we die. Life is not a simple and smoothly flowing thing, but
it is a compound effect. This complex struggle between something inside and the
external world is what we call life. It is clear that when this struggle ceases,
there will be an end of life.
