Symmetry - are we living or are we dying?

I discovered this amazing video on Vimeo recently. It is amazing, the ties they draw between so many things are so true. Its fantastic really. The ending is amazing too. And it makes one think; are we living or are we slowly dying? The minute we hit the earth from our mother's womb we enter the rat race; not knowing when it will end and where the finish line will be. This past weekend has sadly being one filled with tragedy and death, not news we like receiving. and i say again, it makes one think the interesting thought of, "are we slowly dying or living?". Is living a state of mind and dying a physical state our bodies are moving through till we meet the end at whichever time or place. Obviously we are alive, we are breathing and thinking yet as we grow up, our bodies grow down, our minds gain knowledge yet slowly lose ground; we grow taller and stronger yet now we recover slower.

Life is a constant paradox. You gain some, you lose some; you build some, you break some; you learn some, you forget some, ad infinitum. this video captures it well though. how differences are really so alike.
