Life after Delivery

I heard a cute story.  It's probably all over the Internet being forwarded around in emails but I still thought it was cute and had a good point.  Here it is with a few grammar corrections by me:

In a mother's womb were 2 babies.  Yes--twins.

One asked the other: "Do you believe in life after delivery?"  

      The other replied, "why, of course.  There has to be something after delivery.  Maybe we are here to prepare ourselves for what we will be later."  

     "Nonsense," said the other.  "There is no life after delivery.  What would that life be?"  

     "I don't know, but there will be more light than here.  Maybe we will walk with our legs and eat from our mouths."  

     The other said, "That is absurd!  Walking is impossible, and eating with our mouths?  Ridiculous.  The umbilical cord supplies nutrition.  Walking after delivery is to be excluded.  The umbilical cord is too short."  

      "I think there is something and maybe it's different than it is here."  

      The other replied, "No one has ever come back form there.  Delivery is the end of life, and in the after-delivery it is nothing but darkness and anxiety and it takes us nowhere."  

     "Well, I don't know," said the other, "but certainly we will see our mother and she will take care of  us."  

     "Mother??  You believe in mother?  Where is she now?"  

     "She is all around us.  It is in her that we live.  Without her there would not be this world."  

     "I don't see her, so it's only logical that she doesn't exist."  

      To this, the other replied,  "Sometimes when you're in silence you can hear her.  You can perceive her.  I believe there is a reality after delivery and we are here to prepare ourselves for that reality."

Interesting.  Makes me think.
