Life, a miracle
Written by

Life is a miracle, right?Yes — how beautiful it is.
To give life to one human being, two opposite genders participate in intercourse. Out of millions of sperms, only one succeeds in reaching the egg, and from that single moment, we are born. Just thinking about it makes me feel how special our existence is on this Earth.
Out of crores of sperms, only one reacted, and that became “us.” Shouldn’t we feel special because of that? Of course we should.
We came into this world and gained the ability to witness this beautiful nature. How wonderful is it that we have eyes to see oceans, mountains, forests, skies — everything around us? Sometimes I feel like this human body itself is a miracle. We have eyes to see, hands to work, legs to walk, and a mind that can think and imagine.
Sometimes I wonder about how life is created. Through birth, we come into this world, but when we look at the human body deeply, it is actually a collection of matter organized in such a perfect way that it allows the heart to beat, the eyes to see, the brain to think, and consciousness to exist.
That itself feels like a miracle to me.
So sometimes I imagine — if matter in our body can organize in such a way that it creates life and feelings, then perhaps somewhere else in this vast universe, different forms of matter arranged in different ways might also have created other living beings.
Maybe the possibility is extremely rare, like finding one special star among billions in the sky, but the thought itself makes the universe feel mysterious and beautiful.
When I think deeply about all this, I wonder: why were we born? Why does the body work in such a perfect way? Sometimes I feel there must be some higher power behind all this creation. Maybe there is a superpower somewhere in the universe that we cannot see or understand.
Whatever it is, wherever it is, I feel grateful for this beautiful creation. Thanks to that unseen power. Thanks to the universe.
But sometimes another thought makes me feel sad.
We come into existence knowing that one day it will all end. Between birth and death, we spend our lives facing struggles just to move through time. We are born as sons or daughters to two people who become our mother and father. They take care of us for years, and later a time comes when we must take care of them. Then if we marry and have children, we become responsible for them too.
These responsibilities slowly make our minds attached to life.
I often wonder — do people truly enjoy these responsibilities, or do they simply carry them because life demands it?
At the same time, if nobody married or participated in intercourse, the human race would eventually disappear. So in a way, these responsibilities are necessary for humanity to continue.
But sometimes I also think.
What if someone says: “I am not responsible for running this world. I was simply born by chance. I will live my life without marriage or family responsibilities.” There is nothing completely wrong in that thought either. Every person has the freedom to choose their own path.
Still, marriage can be seen as a disciplined system created to make two people responsible for one another and for the children they bring into the world. Without responsibility, a child may grow up neglected, facing many struggles alone. That is why I feel sex is not only about pleasure or enjoyment. At its deepest level, it carries the possibility of creating life and continuing human life, building responsibility, and emotionally connecting two human beings. Thinking about it this way makes sex feel spiritual to me rather than purely physical.
The liquid we ejaculate during intercourse is one of the primary sources through which the human race continues. Just imagine how important that is.
Love makes us responsible toward another person. Whether love leads to marriage, or marriage slowly creates love, love is what keeps people emotionally connected to each other. More than pleasure, sex through genuine love feels meaningful because it makes us emotionally involved in the creation and continuation of life itself. And maybe that is why love matters so much.
To me, love means caring for another person, feeling responsible for them, protecting them, and helping each other survive in this world. When love spreads, peace spreads too.
If love creates peace in this world, then search for love everywhere possible — in nature, in mountains, in oceans, in fire, in soil, in clouds, in birds, in animals, in friendships, and in every living thing around you.
Love the Live. Live in love.
