Have to live

What does life exist for? The emperor penguin said that it exists in order to reproduce and survive. Countless days have passed by galloping on the avenue, and the emperor penguin still lives in the coldest Antarctica, tossing back and forth between the south and the north. And it is likely to be the same as other experiences we all have, knowing it and not knowing why. It is so difficult to continue a life. There are always stray wild geese in the process of migration in groups. The emperor penguin, who accidentally deviated from the destination route, looked around at the boundless white snowy ruins under the sunset, calling out to his companions again and again desperately, without a response. The ice and snow came to bully it, and one staggered and fell to the ground. It hurts so much. When there is darkness, there is light. Hundreds of emperor penguins who have successfully arrived at Imok began their love pairing. They are sweet and lingering. Love is equal to marriage, and marriage is equal to having children. What a traditional life in ancient China, but they are monogamous for a year. The emperor penguin who was not matched that year will have a chance in the coming year. After the mother lays the egg, it will be handed over to the father for incubation. Inexperienced couples often kill their lives in the cradle here. Listening to the sound of the eggshell being torn apart little by little, I couldn't help sighing for the unborn baby penguin, and more often blamed the clumsy parents. Forgive me, like today’s ineffective children, for not being able to choose their own parents as an excuse. If I have a pair of perfect parents, at least one more chance of success than others; if it has a pair of perfect parents, at least one more life than others. If... life is so stubborn, in the time when the mother leaves to find food to prepare for the little penguin, the father has to endure three months of no food while resisting the harsh snowstorm! All for reproduction! These do not mean that the eggs can hatch intact. The mother will be preyed by natural enemies during the foraging process, and the father will freeze to death or starve to death. Dear little penguin, for you, how many people sacrificed for you. But even if this is the case, your fate is still so miserable. After you are born, you may still be frozen to death, lost with your confused mother, preyed by natural enemies... Natural selection will survive the fittest. How cruel life is. And your parents want you to live, and your instincts want you to live. Must be alive. unbreakable faith. Where did it come from?
