Defining infinity!

We all need definitions........... We are taught definitions.......... Oral exams in primary used to be exams of definitions! Secondary school was all about penning down all the definitions........ and now as we entered all prepared in school of real life... only definitions are demanded from us!

Definition of Life! I was taught; those who can breathe (inhale fresh air and exhale foul air is definition of breathing) are said to have life..... if that is the case what abt plants and animals who dont know the definition of breathing? Are they lifeless? well atleast we treat them so :

Definition of Yes & Definition of No! I always thought what all is yes is not no and what all is no is not yes, but yesterday I realised (thanks to my boss!) two times NO (like no! no!) is a YES... much like algebric rule minus* minus = plus! I hope YES & NO follows all algebraic principles... like a dwindling YES & NO should be taken as NO (minus * plus = minus).

Definition of word! well readers plz recall it that word is grp of alphabets that draws out a meaning (courtesy - NCERT textbook) so accordingly what meaning does MEANING draws... it always means "meaning" only!

Definition of climate... (which is beyond our scope almost everytime....).
Definition of sun,moon and earth.... If sun is a star y cant we see it at night.... if sun is a star, how does it still manage to be sun wen day strikes!

To complicate matters sometimes we define definition... so how do we define definition? A sentence (or sentences) which almost never portrays the reality......

How long do we have to deal with definitions.... is it till we reach infinity! Alas !! We have defined infinity as well.
