    That would be Chaos. Everyone will
    not play by the same rules left unrestrained to their own devices. If we are absent laws and common practices of conduct/ethics, then we are lost.

    This brief gift of life comes with certain responsibilities, chief among them is respect for others’ rights and lives.  This post was edited by Don Barzini at December 25, 2017 1:28 PM MST

    Long time ago I was with a young lady who was having difficulties with her life and she would remark 'I didn't ask to be born' . I did not know how to handle that at the time.

    I might have mentioned to her how she is missing the whole point. Every minute we have is a gift.

      I don't see how the two concepts are mutually inclusive of each other, so no. 

      I do understand your premise, however.

    So...The baby pops out; Mom and Dad look at him/her and say "It didn't ask to be born...let's just let it go free and do what it wants."

    I think we all asked to be born
    a long time ago
    wanting the experience of
    our own way.
