Answer 1

Life, overall, seems pretty pointless to me...I'm glad I'm not disabled or anything but...I can't imagine coming n2 this crap by choice?

Answer 2

No, I did not ask to be born but I am so happy that I was. The world does not owe me anything.

I am a happy person and I am very greatful for everything that I have and everything that has ever happened to me good or bad.
When we go through hard times, it teaches us to appreciate the good times. I could sit and feel sorry for myself for all the things I don't have or I can be greatful that I am healthy enough, ambitious enough and strong enough to have the things I do have.

It's funny that I should read this question tonight because I was just thinking this morning that success and happiness in life is all about attitude. I could have gone to work this morning and thought to myself I'm tired, I don't want to be here, I hate this job and the day could have felt like a week long, or I could have gone to work as I did and thought I'm tired but if i just put my mind to what I'm doing it will be fine, I'm sure glad I have this job to come to and I love my job and the day passed so fast I couldn't believe when it was quitting time.

My life hasn't been all roses but I knew that if I took drugs or used alcohol to escape, I would end up a crook and a bum with no self respect and no self esteem so I just worked through the bad stuff, appreciated the good and I wouldn't change my life for anything. I still have a lot of ambitions and desires but I am happy in the moment and whatever will be will be, I'll just make the best of it.

GOOD QUESTION!

Answer 3

I feel great that I am here, Life is always a up hill struggle but that is the whole point, why would you want to be here and life to be perfect, it would be real boring.

I grew up in a very volatile relationship as a child and didn't know any better until i was in a relationship myself, but because i had love and zest for life I soon realised my dysfunctional child hood was the wrong and addressed my issues and today i am married with a lovely wife and a child with a peaceful home.

I am strong a person I have a good career and it breaks my heart when I see or hear of other children in this situation because it isn't our choice to come into this world and parents are there to give there children the right tools to get out there and get on with life but this is not always the reality and sometimes we have to find ourselves later on in life but it is all worth it and believe me it makes you, understanding and non judgemental.

So if any person out there has read this and can relate to it keep going do not be afraid to address your feelings.

Answer 4

I am white and proud to have been born white. I am glad to have never been on the receiving end of slavery or racial slurs and all the stuff I see going on. I however, I do not want illegal immigrants here. I believe what we are in the way of good/bad is a choice not a birthright.I do not mean that if someone has an easy life they made it (not always) or a hard life (not always) Sometimes we live the hand we got dealt. Some are still happy and some will wind up bitter and hateful.
That is a choice

Answer 5

No, I did not ask to be born.

I feel good now that I am 33 and still alive. Had a tough time a year ago with some personal things, but they have smoothed themselves out now.

I have a great family, Mother, Step-Dad, Brother, Sisters-in-Law, Brother-in-Law and Wife. My cat is amazing and smart and very loving to me and my wife.

I am about to enlist in the Army and fulfill a long term goal I have had since graduating High School. I will get training that will help me in the civilian world, I will get a sign up bonus and college tuition to go to school. I will get into shape, learn teamwork and prove to myself that I can do something I set my mind too.

Hope you enjoyed my response.

Answer 6

Honestly, I could care less about points.

The answer, no I did not ask to be born. But like every other person I was born naked and I'll leave naked. I'm naked under these clothes. Troubles come to all people. For some the troubles are a chipped finger nail, for others a chipped finger nail would be like having an ice cold beer on a tropical beach. I could go on and on, but I won't. The best answer I can give you is trim your finger nails, drink an ice cold beer, and enjoy naked with someone you love.

Answer 7

There is a type of spirituality that feels like everyone DOES ask to be born. We are re-born again and again until we get it right. We ask to be born and choose our exact path in life, just for the learning/spiritual experience.

For example: You might go your whole life and never understand how or why someone can be addicted to heroin. So when you die, you ask if you can come back as someone that becomes addicted to heroin so that you can better understand what exactly that addicted person has to go though. You could ask to come back as anything just so you could understand and be enlightened.

Something to think about, isn't it?

Answer 8

I happen to think that we ask to be born and even specifically for parents, siblings and later on partners and friends and all. It would account for the click of switch feeling you share with the people close to you or on the opposite the grave disliking of people close to you.

I always remember how I wanted a daughter from around 25 and five years later she made it here. She always tells me even when we aren't always on a good foot with one another how glad she is that exactly I am her daddy (I don't get tired of hearing this story for a good 12 years from her now - she started talking sensibly from around two). I fell in love with her mother for strangely similar reasons in the form of being in a jam packed disco where suddenly it seemed that everything around me was no longer there, but my ex bathing in a bluish light. That lasted maybe a split second but it made a longer and still lasting impression on me. I also remember bringing down a double scotch in one gulp out of pure disbelieve. But that was right after that moment.

Then last week my uncle died and my niece mentioned that from an early age on she knew that she had chosen him to be her daddy and she could only be glad with her choice.

This is what I think and what I have experienced in relation to, whether or not it is real doesn't matter to me actually. It feels good enough to be true. And to me reality and truth not only spell different, they really or truly are different.

Answer 9

So glad I was born, pretty horrid childhood, but not a victim of it and moved on, got a wonderful life with my husband, he is the greatest man ever, I am a good wife to him too, we have a good and happy life together, no money worries really, not materialistic, like holidays abroad, absolutely love our dog to bits, a bit too soft for our own liking, but much better than been selfish and shallow, we'll help anyone no matter who they are if we can, life's be good to me so far and I have no complaints.

Answer 10

I do like your thought. Indeed we never asked for it, but here we are. Now, however we are we have to accept it and deal with it. I think it does not make any difference whether i was a Eskimo, Arab or a Irish. The karma is everything and one can do good karma irrespective of the country, religion, believe.
If one is happy and does no harm to anybody and can control his/her anger, greed, illusion, pride and sex. He understood the worth of live.

Answer 11

I feel blessed to have been given a chance at life. I feel as thought I am here on this planet to learn something from the people and the place and the situation and the circumstances. Life can be a battle but for me I feel as though it is a battle to learn what I need to learn to make to the other side.
