There was a time when this very man was lying in the womb of his mother in a contracted and shrunken position and as breathing in this limited world of his .if he could think at that time ,he would have considered this state as his real life and would have never agreed to leave it and emerge from the womb of his mother, unless forcibly removed from it .if he were able to speak, he would have considered his emergence as his death and would have construed it as being buried in a dark dungeon, although is was his birth ,which meant that be was to inhabit this vast and wide world after leaving the womb of his mother.
