If you look closely at nature, you realize how blessed human life is, although its lifespan is incredibly and insultingly brief. As humans, we have the opportunity to spend wonderful times with our families — to watch our children grow, to share meals, laughter, and milestones together. We build memories, pass down knowledge, and offer support through generations. It’s a deeply connected and nurturing way of life.
In contrast, look at the life of a squid. After mating, the male dies immediately. The female stays just long enough to guard her eggs, but even before they hatch, she too begins to die, stopping eating as her body deteriorates. The baby squids, when they emerge, are entirely alone. They receive no care, guidance, or inheritance — they must survive entirely independently. Their life begins not with love but with a solitary fight for survival.
Or take particular species of spiders, like the Australian redback spider (Latrodectus hasselti) or the black widow spider (Latrodectus mactans), where the female kills and consumes the male after mating. It’s a brutal, unforgiving reality.
Nature, in many cases, is harsh, and life can be cruel. Compared to that, the life we enjoy — full of love, support, and family bonds — is truly a blessing. It’s something to recognize and cherish. Enjoy your family, treasure the moments, and feel grateful for the kindness and warmth that surround you.
