Everything is everything

Ever notice how anyone who really digs their job makes it sound like it is the Ultimate Metaphor for Life or something else along those lines?  As if, yeah, whatever you do is important and essential but what I do is really what life is all about. Yes, I could be more articulate if I give some examples:

ART is everything/life because...
- it's a concrete object that has abstract meaning and value
- it reflects our human desire for form and function, that it sometimes isn't enough for something to have a purpose but that it also needs to look nice or appeal to our other four senses in some stirring way
- it tells stories about life, both everyday life and special events, i.e. birthdays, deaths, weddings, etc.

MATH is everything/life because...
- everything boils down to numbers and quantities of things, whether or not your language has specific terms for more than four objects in a group
- everything is addition/subtraction or multiplication/division to some degree (adding inches to waistline, grey hairs on head seem to multiply, household getting divided due to divorce), which is arithmetic, which is the one of the most simple forms of mathematics

PHYSICS
- the most simple form of science, the most mathematical one, and explains how things move
- astrophysicists study the universe and how it began, and what's more basic than the origin story?

CHEMISTRY
- life is all about action and reactions
- people have different bonds, just like atoms have ionic bonds or covalent bonds and molecules might have both at the same time
- ionic bonds, like people, are formed by opposite attractions
- our body functions because all the chemical reactions that occur without our even thinking about it

HISTORY
- repeats itself
- makes up who we are
- the past doesn't dictate the present or future but has a great impact on it
- we love stories, and you can't spell "history" without "story" (...or without the male possessive pronoung "his"...)

ECONOMICS
- life is all about producing, distributing and exchanging different goods, whether they are material/concrete or abstract
- any interaction is, on some level, an economic one, whether in favor of private or personal interests
- economics separates us humans from other creatures in how we put abstract worth into concrete objects, i.e. a child's security blanket isn't just a large piece of cloth that provides warmth but an item of personal value that gives psychological stability

I could go on, and I could make more of an effort to build on the points I've made, but I'll just stop here.
