I can see this. I also don't know anything, but
what we call life. What is death, but a dynamic
change?

Death continues to what? I only know life. But
what is life? It is dynamic. I can experience static
patterns of life, but these patterns are not stuck and
unchanging. Dynamic quality is involved.
