DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS MEMBER
If you were able to make the decision to be born and live your life or to not exist, what would you choose?
Personally, I'd choose to not exist.
I very much hate the way we exist. It's a complete mess.

Agreed. "Nothing that happens to a man is ever natural, since his presence calls the world into question. All men must die: but for every man his death is an accident and, even if he knows it and consents to it, an unjustifiable violation" - Simone De Beauvoir.
And another: "Sometimes I think it is a great mistake to have matter that can think and feel. By the same token, though, I suppose boulders and mountains and moons could be accused of being a little too phlegmatic." - Kurt Vonnegut.

Agreed. No existence is the best existence.
There's a lot of suffering out there. The world isn't perfect. But I still choose to exist.

The world can never be perfect.
That's a fact.

It's funny to me that some people get hung-up on this, and whether it means we 'really exist', because what difference does it make? We're in the same position, and I think it's kinda cool, and at least if we were some simulation (and I definitely agree that it's an intriguing possibility) that at least would give us a purpose, and reason that we exist.

Just do what we can to make the most of it.

yeah i was gonna say something like that
Also
Prior to existing how would you also know existence is awful
Happy to exist and experience things. Think of how hard it is to literally just be alive, but to be alive right now is a blessing.
New experiences loading...
I will choose to exist, life is cool and full of fun things, dont give a fuck about the bad stuff, focus on the great stuff!!
Existing. Since if you choose to exist eventually you will not exist. This way you can spend time here before going back to nothing again.
Nice to meet ya.

I agree, I've thought about it and the fact is whether stimulation, reality is fake, etc I'm still in this bitch we call life.
Life is weird to me. Some people are born with such terrible luck such as genetic diseases, low IQ, short, ugly, etc and I wonder why I'm so blessed in many aspects. I'm not perfect, but I've also worked very very hard for everything I have achieved.
My life is good to me. I have a good job, good friends, I'm tall, muscular and a pretty handsome guy. I get attention from girls and I'm well liked by my peers (I like to think so). I went to university and I have a lovely mother and supporting girlfriend. Life growing up was rough though.
But I'm not vain, complete opposite since I know everything I have can be taken away in a second. And life at the end humbles us all as we get old and watch our bodies break down.
Buddhism is quite interesting, it says that life is a constant cycle of suffering and each reincarnation is based on your previous life. If you were a bad person before, you'll be put in a terrible position when you're reincarnated and vice versa.
Whether life is meaningless or there is a greater purpose behind it, I'll still continue to live with my high morals and treat everyone with respect...I'd like to make this place a little better than it was before when my time comes.
Well instead of focusing in what its life i prefer to enjoy life ,i dont care if we are in a simulation ,ruled by aliens or in a black hole .The important thing its to enjoy life
Some peoole dont know how blesed they are just because they have a life .So i choose existence because a bad life as an example its better than nothing
I'd choose to exist, only through our struggles do we gain perspective on our blessings.
I'd choose to exist. I seen/been though many things so far in my life I hate but I still choose to exist.
