We are born into this world not of our own choosing. We are to make the best or worse of it.?

Question

What is your opinion on this?

Answer 1

Each being makes a choice to be where it is.
Choices have consequences, karma.

Each is responsible for ones self as well as ones relationship with all that is in interdependence.

May it all be well with you.

Answer 2

That is the beauty - and the beast - of life : that have we have free will, and can do what we choose with our life. Of course, the natural reaction to your question is to make the best of it. But some people have chosen to make what may seem to some as the worst of their life in order to serve others. Mother Theresa was a great example of this. She was given many opportunities to live a life of relative ease and comfort by moving to the Vatican, but refused to go so she could stay in Calcutta to help the sick and indigent. In some people's eyes, it may have seemed that she chose the worst, but in her own heart - and the hearts of those she served - it was clear that she chose the best. In the end, it all depends on how you define "the best" and "the worst".

Answer 3

We are born/conceived into this world without having wanted to (beforehand). We cannot make the best or the worst out of it because we do not have enough knowledge up front ever. All we can do is make the most informed decisions we are capable of and hope/pray for the best.

Answer 4

i am not so sure our birth is totally not of our choosing, though i wonder if we would have chosen the exact circumstances of our lives,
i would say make the best of it, we are here to live this life, experience it, before we move on

i think that i cant know, but yet i can imagine, once we leave this life, and pass on, if given a choice "hey would you like to move on , or go back again" i can imagine myself saying i would like to come back, i do feel some of what i know i didnt actually learn in this life,
so maybe we do have a choice

Answer 5

You should make the best of it someone out there probably has it much worse then you do so you should always make the best of what you're given for example if you're not the most popular person you can look at your friends and realise they like you for who you are.........when life gives you lemons make lemonade!!

Answer 6

God put us on earth for a purpose, i think that purpose should be found and realised, thereby making the best of the gift of life given to us.

Answer 7

your abilities are influenced by your environment, where ever you are,"where ever i go there i am." in these environments we hone our skills and talents. these are our tools with which to face the world.

if you have that special purpose for being here, you are guided toward that end. this is what people call "finding one's niche."
i am helped along the way by a document called "desiderata". it is available on the Internet if you care to peruse it and see if there is something there for you.
oh.........i'd prefer to think in terms of doing the best i can with what i have.

Answer 8

If you get lemons kiddo, it's always better to make lemonade. Life is a banquet, why starve. Blessings on you.

Answer 9

God made all of our souls and gave us free will. It is up to us to make the best of it. The worse may come at times, but there is always better. When we die, our souls go directly to God. He is offering eternal life with no sadness or tears in Heaven.
We owe it to ourselves and to God to try to be the best we can be!!!
May God bless you.

Answer 10

You are to make the best of it, or accept the consequences. Read the parable of the talants for guidance!
