I think we take our lives for granted. Thank God for our lives and thank our mothers for not aborting us.
I was listening to Terry Gross' Fresh Air yesterday, and she was interviewing Emily V Gordon and her husband on their new film. She had been in a medically induced coma for a long time while battling a bad infection.
She made a statement about how we take our bodies for granted and almost abuse them to make them look better or just ignore them and let them waste away. It carries the heart and brain which are the centers of life and living. It really got me to thinking about just how important it is as a vessel and not something nice to look or or something ugly to shun.
Life is awesome. All life is precious. But I'm hoping this thread doesn't turn into a "when life begins debate" because that's been done to death, and ain't nobody changing nobody's mind in an Internet forum.
But it's a miracle that we can even communicate like this. That means that your heart is beating and your brain is functioning and that little bit of electricity we call life is still charged.
There's nothing miraculous about life and the universe that science hasn't explained or will explain in the future.
Even the sense of awe and wonder you feel in your body is biochemical.
The hard cold facts of science fill me with awe and wonder every day.

You mean like the belief that all matter in the universe created itself?
That's great. If it does it for you then that's all that matters. We just need to accept not everyone shares each others opinion.We have a creator that made the universe and us. Perhaps you believe everything made itself. That's ok with me.

Until we do, we just won't get along. Maybe that's the task set for us?
