Think about this for a moment. If you were never born, how do you think it will affect your family and everyone else you know? Thanks.

It wouldn´t affect their lives at all because for them I never existed.

That is a deep question. I have sat here and gave it a lot of thought and,yes if I was never born, a lot of peoples life's would be different, and non existent such as my daughter.
A good example is Chris K. I own a repo company. I was putting gas in one of my trucks about 3 years ago and this guy approached me. He explained to me that he and his wife and daughter were homeless, living in a car with their 5 cats. He could not get a job because he had no address. No way to do laundry, no way to get cleaned up. They could not go to a homeless shelter because of the animals.They had lost all they owned, and could not stand to loose their cats.
I gave him my office address and told him to be there at 5:00 that night, I also gave him 50.00 and told him to go get his wife and daughter some food and bring them along that night.
He was there at 4:30, gave me my change back and a receipt. I sent him out with one of my better drivers and took his family to a motel and paid for 2 weeks.
Long story short today he is the top guy in my company, they are buying a nice home and all is well with them.
If I had not been born, who knows where they would have ended up.
Good Question.

If I was never born then, how the hell would my family and friends know that I exist if I have no such existence? I have no identity, no green cards, no credit cards, no money, no house, no clothes, no nothing. I wouldn't even be a thought in my mother's mind, but if I suddenly got a guardian angel to come down and show me my life like Jimmy Stewart in "It's a Wonderful Life," then I think my family would be completely different, so would my friends. Without me I think their lives would be useless and meaningless.

Since I had never existed it would not have made a difference in their lives. They would never have known the difference. Another child would have taken my place and their lives would have moved on in the same tracks as they are moving on now. My friends would have made other friends the support and help that I have been giving would have been given by someone else. My value to them, the influence that I have on their lives is only there because they already know me.

If I was never born, I would have remained in the spirit and made people up there happy.
Though as for my earth family they would have had no clue, so no missing there, and that is the magic is life every one is important yet no one is indespensible.

The first thing that came to my mind with your question is the movie/story "It's a Wonderful Life." This is one of my favorite movies and since all the specifics of my own life is too long to go into, well, that story is a lesson in what it could be like and how we each are needed. In spite of whatever bad there may be and if we don't get to do what WE wanted to do, it really is a wonderful life and there is a plan.

Never thought about it! Thanks for putting the melancholy in my Friday! Just kidding.
Pretty sure that Mom and Dad would not have married. I was a teen pregnancy. Dad would not have joined the Army, probably would have been a history teacher. Mom would have gone to college, and become a nurse instead of an Army wife.
Brother and sister would not have been born.
I have to admit, Mom and Dad would have been better off! Pretty hard for them to pick worse partners than they were for eachother!
Cool question

It wouldn't have no affect at all. Because I'd never have existed therefore there would be no life with me, so no one would notice any differences between the two, so there would be no difference.
If I was to die however, that would be a different matter...

Everyone in the world has a purpose. because of you someone else changed their attitute or way of thinking. If you were never born then that person wouldn't be who they are, they wouldn't be the same person that you know. even if you think you don;t make a difference you really do even if others don't see it.

Well, technically it would affect them at all, because I wouldn't be existing. But if the knew me and I didn't exist anymore, it would affect some of them.
