everything lives and dies even if it takes a while
you cant just say that since youre not human you cant die
what about birds and grass and fire?
birds are alive, they grow, fly and chatter, have little chicks, but they are not human. humans don't really like being told theyre birds, either
grass doesnt act alive, so you never see it move or hear it talk, but it grows and multiplies too, just like birds, but they are not human either. it dies in the winter cold too
fire acts alive, as it spits and cracks and dances, but it does not have little firelings. It's the least alive of those, don't you think? yet if you put water over it, it too 'dies'
so, even if it takes a while, you have to die at some point. otherwise the world wouldnt work right and youd probably break it
