Would you choose to be born?

[Sonikku]

A lot of folks are born with defects.

This. And some greater than others.

Living is awesome. I want to be born at least 100 more times.

I just wish I was born into a more affluent family. I guess my life lesson is to appreciate the shit I do have, despite being born poor. For the fisrt part of my life until age 8 we lived third world. Although, I didn't know any better as that was the way my life was. But for the most part, my family still lives pay check to pay check and I so wish I could win the lotto and take the burden off my family and intermediate family.

We've gone far from the way it was,
Where did it go so astray, how to get back ?
I was born then and am living now,
Those were better days

It's kind of a weird question, because if we were to have never existed (or even if we did) we wouldn't know what existence was anyway. So the only choice at that point is to say yes.

life pretty much revolves around going to work M-F for decades to support yourself, looking forward to weekends and maybe retiring in your late 50s at best.

You ARE spending some of the money you make to enrich your daily life, aren't you? If not, you're doing it wrong.

Indeed. But I have to invest a lot of time, doing things I'd rather not, in order to get/maintain those things, that aren't even that great. Guess it would be nice just to be able to do pretty much anything without any thought of cost.

Know it's incredibly petty, especially when I'm still doing far better than 90% of people.

Life is about hardships. Even the wealthy experience hardships.

I'm very grateful that I'm here on earth. Think about it. Because you are alive is a miracle. Your sperm fought the odds against millions of other sperm. And boom... You're born. Perfectly intact. No defects. I have gratitude for being alive.

According to some estimates the probability of you being born are about one in 400 trillion. In my book that is a miracle ...

Yeah, until you are born, then the probability is % 100.
A miracle is the occasion of an event with a probability of -1.
