All is fair in love and war.

Describe a risk you took that you do not regret.


Evolution is a brutal process. Only the strongest and the fittest will survive.

Millions of sperm are released into the uterus in a single ejaculation.

Conception is an arduous journey. The woman’s egg might reject the sperm of her chosen partner, says the latest research by a group of researchers at Stockholm University, Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust and The University of Manchester.

The female body considers sperm to be a foreign object and hence her immune system reacts to eliminate them.

And, defying the odds, a lone sperm staying alive in the uterus for up to three days, winning the war, swimming upstream, going on to penetrate the egg and completing fertilization is what we call successful conception. 

Being born, therefore, on this Earth must be the toughest and riskiest journey yet, and one should celebrate the moment rather than regret it.

I’ve won the war, a risky venture against a 250 million strong army, and I have no regrets.

 

Do you believe in fate/destiny?

Do you believe in fate/destiny?

Yes. One should. 

Those two words decided how life came into existence on the earth.

Of the 300,000,000 (roughly) sperms ejaculated during coitus, only about 200 actually reach the oviduct. Only a lone lucky fellow out of the 200 does a further climb and dares penetrate the egg. Bravo!

Fate plays a part up to this point. No one has control over embryogenesis. 

How the fellow later on grows up to become an Einstein, a Theresa, a Gandhi, a Martin Luther King or an Usain Bolt is all part of destiny. That’s very predictable though.

God made fate. Man made destiny.
