(附:英文原文)
In amother’swomb were two babies. One asked the other:“Do you believe in life afterdelivery?”The otherreplied, “Why, of course. There has to be something after delivery.Maybe we are here to prepare ourselves for what we will belater.”
“Nonsense,”said the first. “There is no life after delivery. What kind of lifewould that be?”
The secondsaid, “I don’t know, but there will be more light than here. Maybewe will walk with our legs and eat from our mouths. Maybe we willhave other senses that we can’t understandnow.”
The firstreplied, “That is absurd. Walking is impossible. And eating withour mouths? Ridiculous! The umbilical cord supplies nutrition andeverything we need. But the umbilical cord is so short. Life afterdelivery is to be logically excluded.”
The secondinsisted, “Well I think there is something and maybe it’s differentthan it is here. Maybe we won’t need this physical cordanymore.”
The firstreplied, “Nonsense. And moreover if there is life, then why has noone ever come back from there? Delivery is the end of life, and inthe after-delivery there is nothing but darkness and silence andoblivion. It takes us nowhere.”
“Well, I don’tknow,” said the second, “but certainly we will meet Mother and shewill take care of us.”
The firstreplied “Mother? You actually believe in Mother? That’s laughable.If Mother exists then where is She now?”
The secondsaid, “She is all around us. We are surrounded by her. We are ofHer. It is in Her that we live. Without Her this world would notand could not exist.”
Said the first:“Well I don’t see Her, so it is only logical that She doesn’texist.”
To which thesecond replied, “Sometimes, when you’re in silence and you focusand you really listen, you can perceive Her presence, and you canhear Her loving voice, calling down fromabove.”
