An old friend of mine translated this and posted it on Facebook. Very thought provoking:
In a mother's womb were two babies. One asked the other: "Do you believe
in life after delivery?" The other replies, "why, of course. There has
to be something after delivery.
Maybe we are here to prepare ourselves
for what we will be later. "Nonsense," says 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 says "This is absurd! Walking is impossible.
And eat with our mouths? Ridiculous.
The umbilical cord supplies
nutrition. Life 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 replies, "No one has ever come back from 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,"
says the other, "but certainly we will see 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 which 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....
