As George Costanza said:
The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends!. I mean, life is tough!. It takes up a lot of your time!. What do you get at the end of it!? Death! What’s that, a bonus!?! I think the life cycle is all backwards!. You should die first, get it out of the way!. Then you go live in an old age home!. You get kicked out for being too healthy, go collect your pension, then, when you start work, you get a gold watch on your first day!. You work forty years until you’re young enough to enjoy your retirement!. You drink alcohol, you party, and you get ready for high school!. You go to primary school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back, you spend your last 9 months floating with luxuries like central heating, spa, room service on tap, then you finish off as an orgasm!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Nope!. The purpose of being born in the first place is in order to grow and gain experience in the material world and eventually reach a point of acquiring Wisdom and when you leave this plane of existence you move onto a finer vibratory state of being!. Life is continuous!.

Anyways, illnesses can occur in babies and adults too, it is not reserved just for old age! It seems we equate old age with every sickness imaginable but forget that many illnesses are possible from the day you are born!.

The best years do not come with how many years of life you have, but how much life you put into your years that makes it memorable!. You can have a short but full life, or you can have a long and empty one!. It is for you to decide!.

It would be a strange concept, because as we got older/younger all our memories would disappear rather than accumulate!. We are formed from our experiences and memories from birth!. If we are born with all those memories and experiences, and then gradually lose them, surely we would have no past and we would know our future!.

To have no past, and to know the future would be odd compared to having a past, and not knowing the future!.

Which is better!? - I think it is better not to know the future!. Life is made more interesting, because it holds surprises!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

I say you should be born a baby!.

If you were born in pain at 100, would it be worth it!?

Would you be willing to dumb yourself down, and give up wisdom!?
You learn differently from other people!.

Would you like to know that your life is pointless!? That you die an infant!?


Babies are born as babies, without wisdom and willing to create their own future!.
