We all know life is hard, so hard that no one has ever got out of it alive. Even before our parents’ seeds made contact, we were already struggling fiercely for survival. Our fathers’ seed that would soon be a part of us had to go through the seemingly harmless but toxic passageway to our mothers’ seed that is waiting desperately just to be fertilized. And when they united, that is the start of our lives, one challenging life. But we still have to endure nine long months inside our mothers’ womb for us to see the bitter sweet world waiting for us. When we first breathe in air and first saw light, death has already welcomed us to this cruelly kind world.
