I've had a realizations from a month ago. I've been thinking recently about how precious life is. So many things give up life, either in portions or in full, to continue our existence. The mother who bore us sacrificed her own nutrients to ensure proper development. The grains we eat have given up portions of their own vitality to feed us-to fill our bellies. The energy within our food comes from selfless sacrificing. All the living beings depend on the sacrifices of others and their ancestors to live. The amount of history that is within a single cheerio is so vast and amazing. I've never appreciated it before, but now it feels so humbling. I just felt like sharing something like this. What do you guys think? Do you have any realizations that make you feel so warm and fuzzy?
