From the moment conception takes place human life is a struggle for survival, do you agree?

Of course it’s a struggle for survival. You are born to die.

Yes, you are exaggerating. Especially for most modern humans not in countries where other humans are starving them or something, surviving as a human is relatively easy.

Try surviving as a Black Rhino, or a Sumatran Orangutan, Elephant or Rhino or Tiger (all thanks to Humans), etc.

Of course, the relative ease of survival for modern humans, and the relative rarity of any actual threat to our lives, doesn’t prevent many modern humans from suffering from pervasive anxiety about scarcity and perceived threats, mostly because many of our modern societies contain many survivalist ideas, and not enough sympathetic and nurturing sentiments.

Ironically, the survivalist mindsets of many modern humans creates actual survival problems for other species, creates even more survivalist anxiety for humans, and may eventually threaten our own extinction as well.

Why start there? You figure that with each ejaculation, millions and millions of sperm are emitted. Almost all of them are destined to die – if one is lucky and there isn’t a condom in the way, it might reach its destiny and fertilize an egg. But that’s a long shot.

So forget conception. Think about those poor spermatazoa!

@elbanditoroso too true, it DOES start there. I guess life is the punishment for having sex. Now if the sperm is “lucky”, that depends on one’s views on life.

My biggest struggle today has been deciding what not to eat. I would not agree with your premise that “life is a struggle for survival”.

“From the moment conception takes place…”

Nope, not quite. Chancy, yes, but odds are pretty good for an egg that gets fertilized in a healthy young woman under the age of 35. And once it implants, the fetus doesn’t usually struggle unless it has a problem with the umbilical cord.

And would you say a well nurtured baby struggles? Sure, there are obstacles, and learning, and work, but calling it a struggle is a bit of a stretch.

Whenever I find myself having a “developed nation problem,” I try to take a mental step back and remember how lucky I am.

“Boo, hoo! The parking garage is really full, and I can’t find an open space.” How many people in this world would love to own and drive a safe, comfortable car and go wherever they want?

“Oh, poor me! It’s dinnertime, and I don’t feel like cooking.” So many people are literally starving, and my pantry and refrigerator are packed with food. If I’m especially lazy, I can order a meal online, have it delivered to my front door, and not worry about the bill.

“Wheahhh! My shoes don’t match my dress.” Try having no shoes to wear.

During those moments of self-awareness, I remember just how fortunate I’ve been and continue to be.

Remember, that egg cell had to survive inside another human for 15–40 years before the sperm ever met it.
