In utero

Could it be that people have this preconceived longing to return to the womb? A place and time of absolute ethereal warmth and comfort where not a thing can go wrong, of which can never be had again. Though we search, nothing quite makes the mark. And in what peculiar paths. The first that comes to mind is with the help of drugs, which unfortunately comes at a price. The search for power is a way to protect oneself by controlling their surroundings, but at a greater exposure to risk and responsibility. Then comes the relationship between the sexes, where in some Freudian way, two people can feel a sense of comfort and contentedness unmatched by any other emotion. Perhaps a prenatal baby does feel this or something of the like. So do we sleep in the fetus position by our partners, dreaming of the best times of our lives both past and to come.
