Several natural biological cycles link the carbon found in the air to plants, as it is absorbed via carbon dioxide through photosynthesis. This plant carbon is consumed by herbivorous animals, then by carnivores and finally by super predators, including mankind.Finally, all this forms a natural cycle that operates in a loop on Earth. But in the beginning, all these atoms originated in the stars. That's why we're all stardust!Source : <a href="https://www.espace-sciences.org/multimedia/audios/sommes-nous-des-poussieres-d-etoiles">www.espace-sciences.org</a>

HOW IS IT THAT THE CARBON FORMED AT THE HEART OF THE STARS ENDS UP IN THE HUMAN BODY ?

We are all children of the stars. Everything that makes up our bodies: our bones, our muscles, our skin are living tissues composed of molecules, themselves made up of atoms of carbon, oxygen, iron, nitrogen and calcium. All these elements were manufactured in the heart of the stars. These are the same atoms found in trees, flowers and all animals.

CHILDREN OF THE STARS 

“Every time you victimized someone you were victimizing yourself. Every act of kindness you’ve done, you’ve done to yourself. Every happy and sad moment ever experienced by any human was, or will be, experienced by you.” The Egg

<ul><li>dealing with grief: when someone close to us dies, let's remember that it's a part of us that's leaving to come back. </li><li>lifestyle: "The important thing is not the destination, but the journey itself." Staying focused on our goals prevents us from enjoying the present moment.</li><li>reason for living: we live to mature and grow into a great spirit. every good and bad experience is a step in this direction. </li><li>how to behave with others: love your neighbor as you love yourself. Every time you hurt someone else, you hurt yourself.</li></ul>

LIFE LESSON OF THE EGG

"You’re a fetus. You’re still growing. Once you’ve lived every human life throughout all time, you will have grown enough to be born. So the whole universe it’s just… an egg.” The Egg

Life is an endless cycle.<ul><li>in religion:  "Death is certain for those who have been born, and birth is certain for those who have died." BHAGAVAD-GITA</li><li>in philosophy: "Nothing is born or dies, but things that already exist combine, then separate again." ANAXAGORAS</li><li>in science: “Nothing is lost, nothing is created, everything is transformed" LAVOISIER</li></ul>

WHEN SCIENCE, RELIGION AND PHILOSOPHY BECOME ONE

"He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the universe."

A process of survival after death whereby a certain immaterial, individual principle ("soul", "vital substance", "individual consciousness", "energy", even "spirit") completes successive life passages in different bodies (human, animal or vegetable, depending on the theory). This concept is mainly associated with the religions of the Indian subcontinent - Hinduism, Jainism, Sikhism and Buddhism.

REINCARNATION

“There is no one else. In this universe, there’s just you and me. But all the people on earth… All you. Different incarnations of you. Wait. I’m everyone!? I’m every human being who ever lived? Or who will ever live, yes."	The Egg

“Your soul is more magnificent, beautiful, and gigantic than you can possibly imagine."The Egg

Here are my thoughts from Andy Weir's short story "The Egg", which I recommend you read at least once in your life.
