In reply to the discussion: About the bird visiting the Bernie event in Portland... [View all]angstlessk
(11,862 posts)9. When I was diagnosed with cancer, and for sure I was dying
I did not look up to a deity, I looked down to an ant colony, and why they gave their lives readily for the colony, for their GENES
I understood, I will die, but the most important part of me will live on...my GENES.
I understood that somehow the GENES I possessed came down from 1,000+ generations.
I was the prodigy of how many mothers through history who did not die before my ancestor lived?
We today are ALIVE by some 'miracle' that enabled all of our ancestors to live long enough to give us birth!
