Certainly not.
Why not?
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.
Can we make them better tomorrow? I mean we’ve generated enough wealth.
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.
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.
I’m echoing a lot of the replies here by saying “No.” Even if I’m given a choice as to what kind of life I’d live, still no.
Even if people say there’s a lot of good things in life, or that there are people living their dreams in this world, still no. I don’t play the lottery, even if I might end up with more money than I could ever hope to spend. The same logic applies here.
There would be no me to regret not existing if I don’t exist.
No
No. Not even remotely. Not even if I was assured it was a simulation. No.
Others have already answered this well, but I’ll repeat it anyway: No.
I mean, the universe is just an experiment in experience. Even with the bullshit, it’s better to have been than to never have been
I think I would have preferred to just manifest as a being of energy that could take corporal form at will.
Would have been a lot easier on my mum.
God no. And I won’t have kids either. Spare them having to think about it.
I’ve been through some terrible things in life.
But yes, I’d still choose to be born. The universe is an amazing place, and despite everything that has happened and is going on, there truly isn’t anything as wonderful as getting to experience a small, brief slice of the universe.
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.
Oh fuck no. For my entire life I’ve resented having to be alive. You try being a suicidally inclined 7 year old and see how you like it. The fact that it’s impossible to ask someone if they want to be born is enough for me to never want to have kids, always had been. Forcing existence and cognizance on a human being is unspeakably fucking cruel.
Yeah, it’s worth it. Plus maybe I can help.
Fuck no!
