Life is infinitely fuller than rational definitions and therefore no formula can encompass all the fullness of life. No one formula can replace life itself in its creativity. A rational formula can be above the attacks of life if and only if it gathers all of life into itself, with all of life's diversity with all of its present and future contradictions.
