What is Sabr (Acceptance)

I think we can easily agree that we are alive.

And when we look around, we discover we are living inside a bigger life w identify as our ecosystem or the container. That ecosystem contains many forms of life: plants, animals, bacteria, insects, birds, cattle, breathable air, and water — and because of the presence of every other life form, we humans are able to live inside a living ecosystem.

Life conducive ecosystem full of greenery, water and trees

We are alive is proof that our ecosystem is alive. When an ecosystem dies, every lifeform that lives in it also dies. Now while we find we are alive, it is a confirmation that the ecosystem in which we are living must be alive as well.

Life exists inside life

We know our ecosystem is alive but it is alive because it exists inside an even bigger ecosystem; our planet. When a planet dies (as in the case of Mars) its ecosystems also die.

Thus in our understanding:

We are alive → because our ecosystem is live → because our planet is alive.
