Imagine you are not born yet and your parents ask you if you are willing to be born or not, if you want to live in this world, with all the good and bad things... what would be your response? "yes", "no" or "it's up to you"?

My answer would be a big YES! I would still want to live in this world. Despite all the bad things that's happening now in this world, i still wouldn't trade the experience of having to grow up in a family like mine. We were not rich or maybe special, but we know that our parents loved us very much and i wouldn't exchange that for anything.

our birth has already been our choice. according to reincarnation theory, we are born cause we need to be born. we live in the present life to complete our "unfulfiled desires" (also known as samskara) in our past life. when we die, our "soul" will choose the most suitable circumstance to fulfil/express our samskara. it means, we unconsciously chose the place we are in now, our inherent talent and weakness, our (kind of) parents, and so on. well, our birth is our choice.

although it may be tempting sometimes to avoid all the cruelty and harshness of this world, my answer will be YES anyway. When I consider all the experience I gained so far (and I hope this is still by far not all yet), I will never give up that chance again... Life is the most adventurous thing in our... well, life :o)
