KNOWLEDGE: TALES
Conversation of two childrenIn 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. - Its is foolishness, there is no life after birth. How should actually look that life 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 everything will be maybe a little different than we 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... |
