I think it's kinda sad when a kid really blames their parents that it was born.
I come from a deeply traumatized and broken family. I've had this believe for a long time. But by blaming my parents i am just reducing myself, my value and my autonomy. And i am reducing the complexity of life, history and my parents ๐ค
Don't mind me, i am just philosophicly reflecting on my life.
I mean it's absolutely true that nobody consents to existence. You can choose to ignore this because it is uncomfortable, but it's true. Your parents very selfishly subjected you to almost infinite human suffering.
Consent is irrelevant in the context of birth.
Imagine taking for granted and even resenting the greatest gift in existence... existence itself just because it didn't turn out perfect.
The one in a trillion chance complaining about the one in a trillion chance.
I know this is not what you ment, but to me this does kind of sound like someone saying it's ok for a teacher to sleep with a student of theirs because its a "gift", even though the student can't consent. Life might not be the gift you may precive it to be (at least not for everyone).
What a reach. Not even remotely the same thing.
