Thoughts About the Birth Process

Hearing my birth story, I felt very...normal, which goes along with the dominant of the AWOL. The whole process of which I was born has been portrayed in movies and television shows. There really isn't much for me to say that would be different or worth hearing, because chances are: you've heard it already. But one thing that I noticed when I asked my mom, was that there were certain things that appear to me as very typical, but still lit up her face as if it was something special, which can apply in any case in the AWOL. People strive to be special and out of the ordinary. But in fact they are pretty much the same as everyone.

As of right now, I am disgusted by the birth process. I acknowledged the fact that it is a special moment and is classified as a "miracle." However I would still not attend to any viewing of the birth of any child other than my own. Watching someone go into so much pain would be pointless. Watching the arrival of just another human being would be pointless. My presence in that room would be pointless. Keeping this memory of a woman screaming, with her legs spread out for several hours would be pointless. Everything would be pointless to me until the child is my own (Sound very selfish, it probably is)I do not think that I (along with most people) can be intrigued by the whole process until I have a full grasp on the fact that I have given life to another person, another soul in another shell. (Sounds very cliche, but I am pretty sure it is true).
