Are humans fragile? Probably as fragile as a balloon filled with water. We need a certain temperature, specific nutrients, and lots and lots of water—these are just a few of our physical demands. Missing even one of these essentials, and we would certainly disappear soon enough. 

But we are also extremely lucky ! Most of these important ingredients are provided for us right from the start, and that is an understatement. 

Who can argue that a cool wind on our face in the early morning isn’t glorious. When we pick fruit straight from a tree, provided by Mother Nature, doesn’t it taste heavenly sweet? And there’s water—more than enough to drink and bathe in ; some can even swim in the beautiful blue ocean. 

However fragile we are, we must often remind ourselves how lucky we truly are as well.
