That is very intersting, but confusing. But it is something to think about.

I do understand what you are saying. As I said, there are many different perspectives on the theory that you stated. I did not try to prove you right or wrong. I simply said that it is a never-ending debate that has been going on for much longer than you or I have been alive. There are many ways that man tries to prove our purpose for existence on this mortal plane. Then, you have others who merely try to prove that we have no purpose for existence. They each come up with their own theories that counteract eachothers', never really reaching a solid answer that can't be shut down by new theories.

Besides, to look at the sum of all, you must look at the parts that make up the sum. If one part affects another part of the sum, then so on, they are all affected by eachother. Which you could conclude that the sum affects its parts, and the parts affect the sum, due to the fact that if there were no parts, there would be no sum, or if there were fewer parts, the sum would be smaller.

That doesn't mean that the sum affects itself. Say you have a bushel of apples. If an apple falls out, you still have the bushel of apples. When the apple fell out, however, it decreased the weight of the bushel. Therefore, something that occured from within the whole affected the whole.

Besides, what is included in the sum of all? Are natural phenomenons such as wind included? Wind isn't alive, but it affects living things.
