What is worse? To be dead or never to have been born?

Question: What is worse!? To be dead or never to have been born!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Of course having died is better than not being born!. The chances that you will be born you is so small and so minuscule, that to have the opportunity to be born you is an enormous privilege!. Even when you are dead and no longer living, you still had the chance to be someone, that itself shows that never being born, never being someone is worse and unfortunate!. Another thing, even after your death, your name, and who you are will be remembered!. Maybe not necessarily by a large populace of people, but definitely someone!. This again is a privilege, a privilege to be remembered, as you won't be forgotten, unlike someone who is never born thus never remembered nor been congratulated as as a contribution to society!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

They are both the same thing!. This is assuming you are asking from the perspective of the person who died (or wasn't born)!.

Once the brain no longer functions, you no longer experience space and time, therefore there is no difference anymore between past and future!. Once you die, all time becomes one point!.

If you are asking from the perspective of those left alive that were affected in one way or another by the person having lived, then it depends on what the contributions were of that person!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Depends on what you did when you lived and how you lived your life!?

However, if you were conceived but not born that could alter things as you can die and still not be born!. THis can be the biggest heartache f all- to be given a chance of life and then have it snatched away before experiencing the joys and love of life!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

for me the worst is never to have been born
because if you are dead
you experience life
you feel being love and not
you cry you laugh
you experience good and the bad part of life
you meet someone that will love you
you experience to sacrifice
you experience losing someone special
you experience to be special
you learn many things from
experience,love,life, and also from the world
and of course you experience to be hurt
by love,life and of course trials

but if you never been born
you will experience nothing
you will learn nothing
you don't meet someone
you don't know every thing
that every dead know,experience and meetWww@QuestionHome@Com

To have never been born!.
because if we were dead, it would mean that you would have once experienced life!.!.!. which you wouldn't remember once your dead!.!.!. but it still would have been better while you were alive =)

The person on the bottom has an awesome answer!.!.!. what i wanted to say in all my gibberish!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well!.!.!.They are ultimately like!.!. the same thing!.

But then again to never have been born could be better because you wouldn't have to suffer and live in fear of dying!.!.
But on the other hand you wouldn't have experienced life!. Or the sun, walking barefoot through the grass!.

And if you're a christian and believe in all of that heaven and hell stuff you'd probably think that dying sounds better than never have being born because you'll get to join god in heaven!.

So i dunno!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
