I am not asking a question that would have an answer which includes things like if you were not born then you would not have your children etc.
It is just a literal question--putting aside ALL outside things--if you can?
If you could have chosen NOT to have ever come in to the world--would you ?

For instance I work with someone who has a friend. This friend is going thru a divorce with a new born and a toddler. She also takes care of her retarded sister whom she also has to change diapers on, brush her teeth, feed her, etc. And the sister is in her mid 20's with very limited mental capacity. So my co-worker was talking about picking up milk and butter for her friend because she can't get out of the house to shop as she's constantly needed.

Anyway, I too choose the red pill.

Besides, if we weren't born into the person we are today, we would still be born IMO. I believe in reincarnation so if we don't learn the lessons before us today, we will be tested again and again until we get it right. So not being born in this lifetime wouldn't solve anything, it would just postpone whatever lessons we are here to learn. Like putting off a final exam because you don't feel like taking the test today... you'll have to take it eventually, right?

It makes me sad that you would even ask this

We all chose to be here.......we all chose the circumstances of our lives for learning........believe it or not, we chose it.

But, no, honestly, I don't ever wish that, as depressed as I've been in my life, as many times as I've been dumped off on various relatives, as many times as I've been referred to as an "accident," or a "problem."

I guess this is Jupiters blessing. And I give thanks for it, believe me, ALL the time, I give thanks.
I KNOW I'm here for a reason, and I'll still believe that if I live to be 80.
It's just something that can't be killed inside me, like a spring sprout poking out through the caked up snow.. it lives, whether or not I want it to.

I feel like I'm preaching when I say this but I really mean it for you. You are very gifted and unique. I love reading your posts because you get that sense that you aren't fake at all. You're the real deal and when you post something it shows.

I just felt the need to show you some luv
