Life - being alive - is the condition that makes all benefits possible.

Life itself is not a benefit.

Life, even matter itself, is a benefit of the existance of a system of
logic almost totally independant from human, or any, intelligent
cognizance.

There is a sizeable entry on the definition of "life."

As long as I say I am alive, I am alive.

That is a benefit.

Terry, the question is not, "Is life a benefit to Terry?" That is more
rhetorical than logical. The question is, can coming into existence be
considered a benefit, realizing that prior to it occuring, no beneficiary
exists to receive it, (every benefit requires one) and after life has begun,
and Terry is now a fact, coming into existence has already passed you by and
can never happen to you. Funny, huh?
