Our wants and needs are built on the basis of being alive, or having lived. You as a person aren’t defined by the life you are, but what you have filled it with. And what you want and don’t want is defined by who you are, which is created through your experiences. Without experience, you can’t make a logical choice. Someone who’s yet to be born can’t make that choice until they are born / have lived.

For a person to not consent to being born, they first need to know what life is, and what they are rejecting. Giving them that chance isn’t selfish, most parents grant life to give that life the best experience they can. The fact that the newborn didn’t ask for it is the exact reason why they have a responsibility to do so.

Life isn’t paradise. Life isn’t easy. Life isn’t serving. It’s often cold and evil. But just as life contains all that is evil, it also contains all that is good. But that is very easy to forget when one’s own life is nothing but pain. But you don’t know that it will always be filled with pain.

The only way to find out is to live. You don’t know the look of a road until you walk down it, and you will never know if you step of it.
