Stochastic Probability Theory - Pregnant Deer Scenario

Consider this scenario: In a remote forest, a pregnant deer is about to give birth to a baby. It finds a remote grass field near by a river and slowly goes there thinking it would be safe. As she moves slowly, she gets labor pain, at the same moment, dark clouds gather around that area and lightning starts a forest fire. Turning left she sees a hunter who is aiming an arrow from a distance. As she tries to move towards right, she pots a hungry lion approaching towards her.

Stochastic Probability Theory - Pregnant Deer Scenario

What can the pregnant deer do ….as she is already under labor pain ?

What do you think will happen ?

Will the deer survive ?

Will it give birth to a fawn ?

Will the fawn survive ? or

Will everything be burnt by the forest fire ?

That particular moment ?

…

Can the deer go left ? – Hunter is aiming an arrow

Can she go right ? – Hungry male lion approaching

Can she move up ? – Forest fire

Can she move down ? – Fierce river

Answer: She does nothing. She just focuses on giving birth to a new LIFE.

The sequence of events that happens at that fraction of a second (moment) are as follows:

One MOMENT … a lightning strikes (already it is cloudy) and blinds the eyes of the Hunter. At that MOMENT, he released the arrow that zipped past the deer and hit and injured the lion. At that MOMENT, it starts to rain heavily and the forest fire was extinguished. At the NEXT MOMENT, the deer gives birth to a healthy fawn.

In our life, it's our MOMENT of CHOICE and we all have to deal with such negative thoughts from all sides always. Some thoughts are so powerful they overpower us and make us clueless. Let us not decide anything in a hurry. Let's think of ourselves as the pregnant deer with the ultimate happy ending. Anything can happen in a MOMENT in this life. If you are religious, superstitious, atheist, agnostic… or whatever… you can attribute this MOMENT as divine intervention, faith, sudden luck, chance (serendipity), coincidence… or a simple 'don't know'. We all feel the same. But, whatever one may call it, I would see the priority of the deer in that given moment was to giving birth to a baby…because LIFE IS PRECIOUS.

 

Hence, whether you are deer or a human, keep that faith and hope within you always.
