    Absolutely.

    A. Even with how shit the world is there’s enough good that exists for it to be worth it.

    B. If I didn’t exist, I would never have a chance to help improve the world in my small way.

      Same view but I also have had it pretty good. Great family and support, passed that on to my kids, and I’ve had a lot of support with great teachers through my years so now I pass that on to those less fortunate and it just does it for me. It’s a great feeling helping others.

      Here’s your Christmas advice kids: care about other people, nothing else will actually fulfill you.

    No. And thats the reason i don’t have kids.

    Humanity is rotten, and personally i don’t think we’ll ever change. The best thing that can happen to earth is for humanity to collapse and become extinct.

    Warning: ITT, lots of nonresponse bias.

    Life dissatisfaction guides people to type no;
    neutrally satisfied folks will skip;
    the relatively contented might type a “yes” or be offline.
    With today’s historical context, there’s a bit of a skew, especially for those hanging out online o( ; ´ ﹏ `;)o

    As for me, I’m excepted. I have decent dissatisfaction rather often, but arrogantly – I’d be born a million times, every time (unless you ask me at a bad moment).

    Even at my worst, why do I not roll over and die? “I want to see how my story ends.”

      No is not such a pleasant decision in this question, in order to answer this way you need to really feel or witness really bad things. Therefore, a large number of such answers says something…

    I’m echoing a lot of the replies here by saying “No.” Even if I’m given a choice as to what kind of life I’d live, still no.

    Even if people say there’s a lot of good things in life, or that there are people living their dreams in this world, still no. I don’t play the lottery, even if I might end up with more money than I could ever hope to spend. The same logic applies here.

    There would be no me to regret not existing if I don’t exist.

      Not existing is neither bad nor good, existence is the experience of both good and bad things. Don’t only focus on the bad ones.

    Funny you should ask because fetus me actually tried to hang myself with my own umbilical cord and they had to cut me out of my mom to stop me. So apparently i really wasnt looking forward to my time on earth.
