We all come from a long line of survivors - people who in some cases had to fight for their lives and the promise of the future.

So we can't choose anything else but survival.

Doesn't that ancestor's belief give an inherent permission for us to make our way through this place?

If you are going to ask a subjective question define your terms. What is a right? how is a "person" defined? What do you mean by "exist"?

...are you nihilist? It seems that you are discounting the person's need to prove themselves...which is ultimately the purpose of life. How does one make themselves worthy of the life they are living?

You are talking about a 'right' to exist, how do you know there is such thing?

We don't choose to be born, so any speculation as to whether we deserve to be alive or not can only be made *after* birth, when we have *made* choices and actions!


If we do not exist before we exist, how the @#&$% can any judgement be made upon us to determine our worth as beings???
