Yesterday I wrote, that life is amazing. But I see this is a statement in the dispute.
Let’s look into our plate: much things we eat has recently fought for survival, including plants, they are also alive.
We like our amusing cats. Well, recall the cat-mammy that brought her kittens a mouse to play with and to eat then. Imagine how the mouse feels...
And it repeats itself wherever you look. Some living beings eat others and each is fighting for survival - this is how our world works.
Then just remember the history of mankind: wars, epidemics, endless suffering. There are 20 thousand human diseases in current International Classification. Animals have no less illnesses.
So the world is beautiful?
Now imagine that even nowadays a healthy woman at 20 does not bear 9% of pregnancies, and at 35-40 already 25%. Then imagine situation that was before and the fact that every second child in German in 19 century died(According Our World In Data). The probability that each of us ancestors will survive and we were born was very small. So we you are lucky. And isn't that wonderful? Isn't it exciting to experience what life is like if we have the chance.

And you can see this scenario play out in different ways everywhere you look. Some living things eat others and each is fighting for survival - this is how our world works.
Just look back on the history of mankind: wars, epidemics, endless suffering. There are 20,000 human diseases in current International Classification. Animals have no fewer illnesses.

Now imagine that even in this day and age, 9% of pregnancies in healthy 20-year-old women result in miscarriage, while for women between the ages of 35 and 40, that figure is 25%. Then imagine how this was before, when every second child in Germany in the 19th century died(According to Our World In Data). The probability that each of our ancestors would survive and we would be born were very small. So, we are lucky. And isn't that wonderful? Isn't it exciting to experience what life is, having been given the opportunity to do so?
Great work! Even though a lot is happening in the world right now (isn't it always?!) I'm trying to relax and find some peace concentrating on what I can do for myself and for those around me!
Thank you, John H. It seems to me, your way of reacting to the problems is the best.
I really enjoyed the way you ended this. You're message was very clear. There's so much that happens in the world that is out of our control and other things that we can improve on one day at a time. We have the choice to choose, to simply just be. Those of us fortunate enough to be able to live in such a way need always remember to realize how blessed we truly are. Thank you for your post!
Yaya, I'm very glad you like my thoughts. And thank you for your advice. I'll repeat corrections.😊
I agree with Yaya - the message was very nice, but NOT very clear, in my opinion. Some of the more complex sentences needed to be expressed in a way that didn't leave the reader guessing as to their meaning. Yaya cleared a lot of them up for you, and I hope I was able to help as well. English isn't as succinct as Russian, and sometimes, if not most of the time, more words are better than too few words. Great effort! Keep writing - I look forward to your next post as always.
I think I simply need to make my sentences not so long. But it's my style of speaking in Russian and Ukrainian too. I'll try to use simple sentences.😂 Thank you for your help.
I don’t agree. I think learning how to write complex sentences really helps your language grow. Especially if you speak this way. You should express yourself the way you do in your own language. Keep writing long sentences and don’t be afraid to make mistakes. We’re here to correct you)))
CocoPop thank you. Maybe you are right. I'll consider your arguments.
