        I would rather have not experienced my life.

          Just because things haven’t been great so far doesn’t mean they won’t be better in the future. I hope you are able to improve your life into something you want to experience.

    Funny you should ask because fetus me actually tried to hang myself with my own umbilical cord and they had to cut me out of my mom to stop me. So apparently i really wasnt looking forward to my time on earth.

    Just like how we don’t know what it would feel like to be dead, and we dread dying, I suppose choosing to be born would feel like death of that self that is given this choice, so I guess the question can be rephrased as “if you could die in this moment, would you choose that?”

    I guess not.

    If I had the choice ahead of time? No, I wouldn’t choose to be born.

    If it’s a retroactive thing though, I wouldn’t undo my birth

    Absolutely.

    A. Even with how shit the world is there’s enough good that exists for it to be worth it.

    B. If I didn’t exist, I would never have a chance to help improve the world in my small way.

      Same view but I also have had it pretty good. Great family and support, passed that on to my kids, and I’ve had a lot of support with great teachers through my years so now I pass that on to those less fortunate and it just does it for me. It’s a great feeling helping others.

      Here’s your Christmas advice kids: care about other people, nothing else will actually fulfill you.

    Yes. If I’m actually some kind of cosmic being that can choose to be born yes, I am taking that pill. I’m taking all the experience pills.

    Yes! I’d rather there be something than nothing. It’s a wonder that anything exists at all

    I reckon so, yeah. Better than nothing, right? Been plenty of good with the bad. That’s about all a disembodied energy form could really hope for, after all.
