Life is a sailboat.

How could life be easier if you don't have life in the first place? Life is very problematic, but we cling to it because its the only life we know.

We are always so unfair when concerning fairness in the decision. Given the choice to born or not, inevitably you will have choices in selecting the would-be parents as well. Imagine the ever likelihood of selecting the best of both worlds to derive the pleasure of living, which come to mind, those leftovers who will in the end take the tab. This is one reason, why life and death is never a choice for the picking, even though we may end our life earlier than what suppose to be, which is the only discretion open to you, and definitely not the first breathe in the world that nobody can have it altered. Unless for a purpose which under no circumstances can be predicted, or fathom the intricacies that bound the living and life in cohesion.

Life wouldn't be easier if you were never born because you wouldn't know life, you wouldn't exist. I'm glad I was born no matter how many times I've been hurt or how much I'm opening myself to get hurt everyday. I'm madly in love with someone that loves me back, and he makes my life worth living. He told me I'm the reason he's still alive and that we make each other's lives easier. A love like that is worth living for no matter what. And hey, even if its a lie, I wouldnt once regret having fallen for him because things seem so perfect when I'm with him. I'll always hold onto the good memories. If you're never born, then you can't experience things like joy, happiness, friendship, pain, and love

If you mean that you do not wish to live a LIFE where you are RAPED and then you die and that is it, well then maybe individuals woudl say that it woudl be better to NOT BE BORN. But if you are born into a nice happy life with your "friendship circles of bliss" well then you may have a BLAST.
In a non-vegan world we need to do a lot of work to get "up to par".
When we get SICK we maybe sometimes question if we should be doing what we are doing and we may think about HOW we came to be in this life and we may wish for cures.... I know I went off on a tangent here... but it is sometimes TIED together - sickness/health, life, death, birth....
I hope for a peaceful world situation in which to reside.

Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.
You are child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.
Whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore, be at peace with God, whatever you conceive him to be.
Whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful
Strive to be happy.
from the Desiderata by Max Ehrmann

I don't have any memories of not being born, so I have no basis on which to answer that question. However, it seems a mute question since you were born, and you are here. Might just as well make the best of it.

I do not know, none of the unborn people I asked would tell me.
I guess if your goal is to do no thing then it would be better not to be born, as for those who want to do something they must be born to in order to do that thing. At least as far as we have any ACTUAL evidence.

This is a question for existentialists. First off it's a non-sequitor. You do exist. Therefore the reality of your never -having -existed is irrelevant. However, the quality of your existence is always examined and re-examined. Only you can decide how to improve the quality of your existence or to remove your existence.

What do you mean? Are you asing something like "would it be better to hatch than be born". The literal meaning of your question is a non-case, which cannot be either better or worse, as it cannot be compared at all.

Life is not meant to be easy. It is meant to be spent gloriously through its ups and down.I want to share with you my favourite quote by Yolanda C. " I do not wish to lead an easy life. Just an excellent one." All the best dear friend!
