Why are we asking?

If you want to know about the past, look at the present outcome. If you want to know the future, look at how you are right now...

I read in the newspaper that more babies are dying. I am not a professional doctor, yet the system has changed. In the old days the baby was delivered at home. The family helped closely, a midwife being there as well. I myself was asked to boil the water when my younger sister was about to be born. There you can experience new life, pure and straight forward, it is a time when your heart beats faster in anticipation. New life being born is wonderful. And this joy in return protects and gives life to the baby.
