A tale of two fetuses
In mommy’s belly two fetuses are talking:

F1: hi bro, you heard of that fetus that was born the other day? It really scares me. My
nine months are almost up.

F2: well he just went on to life we might even meet him there when we will be born.

F1: you mean you believe in life after birth?

F2: yes, of course there is life after birth, we are here just to grow and get stronger. So we will be ready for the real life that is waiting for us after birth. That’s what we were told, remember?

F1: well I don’t believe in it and frankly, I don’t understand how any one with a little bit of sense can believe in life after birth, I mean how will such a life look?

F2: I don’t know how life after birth will be but I believe there will be lots of light, we will walk on our feet and eat with our mouths.

F1: that’s impossible! How will we be able to walk? And to eat? We have an umbilical cord for that and can’t live without it. These are the facts. We live in a small dark place and anything else is just not possible.

F2: I think you’re wrong. I think there is a whole world just waiting for us to be born into it. I don’t know exactly how it will be but I know Mother will be there and she will care for us and keep us warm and safe.

F1: You mean you actually believe in Mother? Where is she then? I can’t see here. No one has ever proved she exists. Face it, this is all there is. And then we are born and that’s the end.

F2: Mother is all around us. She nourishes us and keeps us warm and hydrated. Without Mother we wouldn’t be able to exist at all.

F1: You are so backwards! We get our food because we have umbilical cords and we are hydrated because there is water all around us. Mother has nothing to do with it. How can you believe in something you’ve never seen and never heard of anyone
that saw it?

F2: no, I’ve never seen Mother but when I stay real still and everything is quite I can feel Her. I can hear her heartbeat I can tell she is thinking of me and sometimes I even feel her hand gently petting me.
Mother exists. She loves us now. And we will meet her after birth and she will hold us tightly to her and our real life will begin.
