No hidden meaning there, emotion is everwhere in human life, fuels many things. It's one of the many meanings....experiencing emotion. So I guess one could say life is emotive.

I'm sticking with "(self) preservation", I think it is much more basic and primary than most of the things being mentioned. MushroomTrip's "seeking" was perhaps even better since preservation AND all of these other things being mentioned can be sought.

I doubt all of em do and I see the purpose of this thread being one word that expansively encompasses all humans, not certain bodies of.  instead of coming up with one word ~40 of us came up with ~40 words.

I continue to stick to 'seeking' or 'perseverance', if you can think of a word that more expansively and accurately defines the meaning of human life down to an even more basic level I'd be interested to hear it :yesnod:

For I've never known completeness

Wrapped in the warmth of you
Loving every breath of you

:bunny::bunnyhug:
All this time I've loved you
And never known your face
All this time I've missed you
And searched this human race
Here is true peace
Here my heart knows calm
Safe in your soul
Bathed in your sighs

at this point i think we can be relatively certain seperation exists as a fallacy of finite perception, and the only barrier to infinite creativity is a preimposed notion of certainty and artificial conditioning. nothing is without origin
