Optimal analogy about life after death

In a mother's womb were two babies. One asked the other, "Do you believe in life after childbirth?"

The other replied: "Of course. There's got to be something after childbirth. Maybe we're here to prepare for what's to come later. "

"Nonsense, " said the first. "There is no life after childbirth. What kind of life would it be? "

The second said, "I don't know, but there will be more light than here. Maybe we'll be able to walk with our legs and eat with our mouths. Maybe we'll have other senses we can't understand now."

The first replied: "That's absurd. Walking is impossible. And eat with your mouth? Ridiculous! The umbilical cord provides nutrition and everything we need. But the umbilical cord is very short. Life after childbirth is out of the question."

The second insisted, "Well, I think there's something, and maybe it's different from this. Maybe we won't need this physical cord anymore."

The first one replied. "Nonsense, and on the other hand, if there really exists life after childbirth, then why has no one ever returned from there? Childbirth is the end of life, and in postpartum there is nothing but darkness and silence and forgetfulness. He doesn't take us anywhere.

"Well, I don't know, " said the second, "but surely we'll meet Mother and she's going to take care of us."

The first replied "Mother? Do you really believe in Mother? That's ridiculous. If Mother exists, then where is she now?"

The second said, "She's all around us. We're surrounded by her. We're Ella's. It's in her that we live. Without her this world would not and could not exist."

He said the first: "Well, I can't see her, so it makes sense that she doesn't exist."

To which the second replied: "Sometimes, when you are silent, if you concentrate and really hear, you can perceive his presence, and you can hear his loving voice, from above."
