| - What are the vital components of living existence? Certainly there is life; for something to live, it must be born, it must exist in a space of time that is known as “life.” Before and after this period of life is a nothingness known as “death,” the void that contains all that is not life. The structure and definition of death is heavily disputed, but irrelevant to the discussion here. Death is an indefinite, broadly defined concept; life, however, is spoken of much more simply.

| - What are the vital components of living existence? Certainly there is life; for something to live, it must be born, it must exist in a space of time that is known as “life.” Before and after this period of life is a nothingness known as “death,” the void that contains all that is not life. The structure and definition of death is heavily disputed, but irrelevant to the discussion here. Death is an indefinite, broadly defined concept; life, however, is spoken of much more simply. There is a third component, however. There is life, there is death, but there is a purpose for life to rise out of death. Oftentimes it is referred to as the “meaning” of life, the “answer” to life, the “reason” for existence. Indeed, this third component is difficult to define, as it is merely a concept that cannot be expressed wholly in words. Life is life; death is not life; the third element is a dimension unto itself. Death cannot be described, as no one has been able to bring back stories or proof of what exists outside of life, if anything exists at all. This third element, however, sometimes manifests itself during life (and, perhaps, death) in different forms. The most perfect example of this element “bleeding through,” if you will, to life as we humans know it, is a small, circular object typically divided amongst several people. It is commonly known as the Pizza Pie. Pyism (pronounced PIE – ism) is only just emerging as a new form of philosophy. Its perspective primarily deals with the nature of the Pizza and how it relates to life. By understanding the Pizza, the third element can be better understood, and human beings are one step closer to the answer to “everything.”
