Life an incomprehensible mystery

Humans are incomprehensible folly.

The contrast is interesting.

To describe an organism, one must necessarily describe its environment. I don't think humans can be separated from their environment or the ultimate environment: life.

Everything in existence is composed of matter. That includes humans. I don't think it would make sense to say that all matter is a mystery, except humans.

Making the noise "penicillin" is no substitute for actually taking penicillin.

I did not say humans were not part of the mystery. But they manifest that mystery as folly amoung other things.
