What is the Nature of Life?

Nothing my eye, Something for sure
Define life?
Define nature?

For me it is to find out about everything there is to love and hate, and then purpose my life accordingly.

Life is that which brings peace, love, and joy. That sounds merry, and easy but it is actually through suffering, and hardship and tragedy that one finds those things. Much of love, peace, and joy is beyond what earthly existence will ever be able to sustain. If there's a forever then perhaps the losses we all suffer will turn to love, peace and joy again. Otherwise we make peace with pains, and permanent losses. In a finite life one lives the experiences they find to have worthiness, and are able to be joyfully remembered.

Nature is the essence of what makes life worthwhile or meaningless for a person.

Some people tire of life and existence but typically I never could relate to that feeling. I tire only of physical ailments, limitations of things, aging, and lack of youthfulness abilities. I tire of missing those I cared about.

Finding empathy drives the worthiness of life imo.

Most life, both historically and numerically is single celled. Where's the peace, love and joy?
No, the human condition is not what characterizes biological life.

Huh? That's gobbledygook. Clarify, please.
