Birth and Death 📷

Which comes first?

(does birth is always happening before death?)

Today I was doing some macro shooting comparison between my Oly and my daughters NIKON. That is because yesterday I have purchased macro extension tubes for her Nikon.
Not good subjects was ready at hand, so I tried to shoot leaves of a bouquet of flowers, which my wife put on a terrace table.

I leave this comparison results for a future, because I am not certain I'm ready yet for final decision.

But while shooting, I have noticed a few dead insects on the leaves. All were very tiny, only 3-5 mm in length.
What surprised me was that one of the insects seemed got it's death even before it's birth. Maybe that was a mosquito, but I may be wrong. Whatever it was, it made me a bit weird feeling.

Birth and DEATH on the same flower

Here are some of the pictures of what I have seen today on our bouquet

He is alive, because from the conception there is already life, but when he comes out to the outside world he can die, that's why I tell you, to die you have to be alive.

Hey @onealfa, I'm a biologist, but sadly I am not an entomologist to tell you what kind of insect it is. I am a cell biologist and I work with genetics. I will try to figure out what insect is it. I really enjoyed your photos because sometimes I take pics like that, but not with your camera jajaja.Keep going inspiring me to take great pictures like you do.

Your camera has great image quality. I assume it for the reason that birth will take place earlier than a loss of life. after all, that is going to die if nothing comes into existence.

Thats actually a really good observation mate...
Heres what I think: A newborn Soul is naive and blunt. It doesn't understand between good and bad deeds. That newborn soul doesn't have any emotions. It might commit a crime and don't feel anything about it. So that's not really a Soul. Soul gives us the power to feel things, to feel emotions so A NEW BORN SOUL is not really a soul, but just an entity. So till the death of the vessel, the entity gains enough knowledge and is matured enough. And now when the same entity takes another birth, it knows whats wrong and right, it feels things now.

So I would say, Death comes first...
