or changed the outworkings of your ancestors' lifes to suit you?--
If you knew that you might have pain, suffer disasters, certainly end up dead,-- given the choice, the power, would you have prevailed upon your parents not to have brought you into the world?

When I feel down & unlovable I think of all the potential humans that didn't have a chance to live & think myself very fortunate to experience life on this beautiful planet.

If I had the power to do that, I would have had myself adopted by a set of better parents.

FHN: thank you, but in this Flight of Fancy, you are giving yourself more power tha we all really have.
your choice of parents Melinda Gates & husband perhaps? seconding their humanitarian works?
Kate: much of the suffering would end if "all creatures small&great" became vegetarian , digesting CARBON based compounds found in plants.

Prologos, respectfully, we don't have the power to do what you asked either. Yes, I'd like to be in this world, I'd just have put in their heads to put me in the family with more stability. I don't mean rich, I said stable. I'd be better off now if I had more stable parents. Mine were not JWs, by the way.

FHN: true, I meant if you had the power to decline. that is the easiest choice compared to act creatively. thank you.
also knowing full well that ones' parents have really no power to ensure protection.
