conversation of two unborn babies

...found recently on the internet:

Conversation of two children:

In the belly of a pregnant woman were two babies. The first asks the other one:

- Do you believe in life after birth?

- Certainly. Something has to be after birth. Maybe we are here mainly because we prepare for what will be later.

- It is foolishness, there is no life after birth. How should that life actually look like?

- I do not know exactly, but certainly there will be more light than here. Maybe we will run on our own feet and eat with mouth.

- That is nonsense! Running is impossible. And eating by mouth? It is totally ridiculous! The navel string feeds us. Something I say: Life after birth is excluded - the umbilical cord is already very short.

- Indeed, there certainly is something. Just maybe everything will be a little different than what we are used to have here.

- But nobody after birth has ever returned from there. Childbirth just ends life. And after all, life is nothing else than protracted distress in the darkness.

- Well, I do not know exactly how it will look like after birth, but surely we will see the mother and she will take care of us.

- Mother? Do you believe in mother? And where is she supposed to be?

- Where? All around us! In her and through her we live. Without her we would not have existed at all.

- I do not believe it! I have never seen any mother, so it is clear that there is none.

- Well, but sometimes when we are silent, you can hear her singing, or feel how she keeps stroking our world. You know, I really think that the real life awaits us only then and now we only prepare for it...

  1. Good one, Albert. It reminds of the link to the story our teacher posted in a newsletter a couple of months ago, which can be found on her website with this link (though I think it is accessible only to site members now, not sure...) http://www.theclearandsimpleway.com/sample-lesson. It is from one of the later lessons, so I have read it before (I am a first year student). Thanks for posting. There are many ways to view life, and this is a good reminder that our limited views are—limited.
