  Helevos has two categories of life which are mutually incompatible, the virid, and the green.
  
  Green life includes humans, and all domesticated plants and animals which are nutritious and useful to human exploitation. Green life is considered to be soft, benevolent and useful, an essential part of human settlement and civilisation. greenviridviridgreengreengreenviridgreenviridgreenviridviridgreenviridviridviridviridGreengreengreenAnrelgreengreenAnrelAnrelAn…
