Good Morning,

As I write these thoughts, what in them would you all consider a better sentence:

As humans, we are fallible creatures and much of it due to the struggles we face and our inability to get out of our own way.
2. first an egg, fragile and breakable; then a caterpillar building to become larva;
3. That goal in reaching our conscious mind to self-realization

Where can I find this International Grammer tool?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

If you are wanting suggestions to improve each of these sentences, here's what I would do:

1). "As humans, we are fallible creatures and much of it due to the struggles we face and our inability to get out of our own way"
>> "As humans, we are fallible creatures, and mostly due to the struggles we face and our inability to get out of our own way.

2). "first an egg, fragile and breakable; then a caterpillar building to become larva;"
>> "first an egg—fragile and breakable—then a caterpillar becoming larva."

3). "That goal in reaching our conscious mind to self-realization"
>> "That goal in pushing our conscious mind to self-realization"

I can't offer much more without knowing the context of the sentences. Hopefully this helps!

What do you mean by "our inability to get out of our own way." ?
