  But the relations between my atoms are the same as the ones between a rock’s atoms. They still exchange electrons, they still answer the physical laws in the same way. But my relations, differently from a rock, have a sense which is literally trying to go against the universe thermodynamic fundamentals: we constantly try to overcome entropy. Why a rock doesn’t do the same?

  You aren’t constituted of the atoms that make you up, but rather the relations between them. This is why you are more “alive” than your parts individually.
