Life~

We're learning Reproduction for biology. Squeals! So i was listening because it's talking about reproduction! they finally changed our biology teacher. Talking about the stages in pregnancy and how a foetus is formed today. And to make it more interesting, i suppose, the teacher showed us some videos. The last one depicted the stages from the formation of a zygote to birth.

How i've forgotten how videos like this always captures my attention and makes me wonder in amazement. (How could you not?!) I know it's funny in the video how the millions of sperms swam and bounced back from the ovum until the last one came carrying a rose and the ovum finally let him in.

Did i just say that?



Lemme rephrase:

I know it's entertaining how the video gives a different and less controversial view on that.

But watching it, isn't it such a miracle to just be alive? How could the existence of you and i just be a coincidence or accident? And we demand for miracles everyday, forgetting that we are already one. It also saddens me a bit, how could anyone actually decide to just abort kill their baby? The miracle of life is not something which lands in the laps, no matter how seemingly easy and indifferent we are about it.

"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,

before you were born I set you apart;

I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” --Jeremiah 1: 5

Innocent lives that could've and might've done wonders to the world, if only they were given that chance, and the decision whether they were given that chance or not can never depend on one person alone.

End of last year, during "Wonderfully Made" someone mentioned that abortion requires this metal piece (let's name it a "scrap"). When the scrap enters the womb and makes its way to scrap the foetus out, the foetus actually evades. Whatever the difficulties, the baby wants to live for goodness sake!
And that- is abortion, that is the truth. Abortion is not some fancy, simple process we like to imagine whereby the foetus just swims out by itself after taking pills or some other fairy tale as such.
And that was where i knew abortion was just wrong.
Of course, there are circumstances. And sometimes we can understand and feel sorry. Unfortunately, there are no justifications for taking away a life. In fact, i'm not exactly angry and condemning the people who choose abortion (after all i'm not in their shoes and i can't possibly tell what they go through). Rather, i just feel remorse for them.

Those are the things i thought of and felt anyway, when i watched the video.



Gasp. Does that like... make me weird? haha, but it doesn't matter, i know i am anyway:P

But i'm reminded to always live life to the fullest as much as i can. So should you! Just think about the heartaches and troubles people underwent to bring you to life:) and when you pop into earth, you are this troublemaker and your family had to teach you all the basic things. From holding a pencil, talking, playing in the rain, appreciating nature and a good book, letting loose to teaching you to shut up sometimes, letting you taste some first- hand pain, improving your temper, stopping you from behaving like a monkey-- oh wait that's just me.
All these just because they made that decision for you to live.

And lastly, if anyone is considering abortion (not i hope! :P), or if you happen to know (now and in future) someone who considers abortion...please please please, do your best to dissuade them. This is one of the only times where you're allowed not to listen to your parents' advice telling you not to poke into others' businesses alright?;) And pray the same for me as well, if such circumstances may come my way.

So, to those reading this out there, remember to live! And sorry if my posts have been more on the emo mellow side lately. Hehe, not exactly fired up about anything in particular at the moment.
