You know. It’s easyfor me to bang onabout the universebeing a benevolentplace. That you andme are the point ofthe universe. Thatyou create your ownworld. That youshould be in awe andgratitude that youget to play on thisplanet, be it for 80days or 80 years.It’s easy for me tosprout forth becauseat 52 I haven’t reallyhad it hard. Yeah,I’ve had the odd bitof abuse from myparents (ok, a lot).But, what did parentsreally know in the1970s about childrearing? If you werelucky, you got a goodhiding with a belt orif you were unlucky,you got a fist in theface. Either way, itseemed to sort

things out sharpishly.I saw the odd bit ofalcoholism (ok, a lot)running through ourlives leaving a trail ofdestruction in itswake. I’ve had two caraccidents, one seriousand one embarras-sing. I’ve had a carradio stolen. I think Iwas in one seriousfist-fight in my life.Since then, I’ve neverbeen hit in the faceagain because whenI’m running awaythey always hit me atthe back of the head.Both my parents andstepfather have writ-ten their final exam.Who knows howthey did? I’ve had myheart broken once,figuratively. And onceliterally - I’ve hadMyocarditis (inflam-mation of the heartcaused by a virus ... Itfeels like a naff heart

attack).So, I didn’t, and don’t,have it hard. Not likesome people. Thosewho are terminal.Who’ve lost lovedones. Who’ve beenraped, degraded andmade to be less.Who’ve been murder-ed. Hijacked. Kidnap-ped. Abused. Handi-capped. Exterminated.And the many otherperversions that areunimaginable to mostof us.Ask these people ifthey think the world isa benevolent placeand if it has their bestinterests at heart?They’ll probablylaugh in your face thatyou would have thetemerity to ask such astupid question.This is the questionI’d ask these peopleand those still to beborn: If you knew that

you were going to beborn into a world ofhurt, would you stillcome into this worldor would you ratherhave no conscious-ness?My take on it is that Iwould still rather be

born. Be conscious.Because I know thatin every sea of suf-fering there areislands of happiness.Let’s tease this out.Would you rathernot have had a childthat passed beforeyou ... Was there notjoy and love beforethe event? Wouldyou rather not beborn or would yourather be handicap-ped knowing thatthere are 1000 thingsyou’ll never be ableto do (but another 10000 things you couldstill do)? Could yousurvive a rape andstill find joy or would

Would yourather not be born?

you rather not be

born?I think the stoic,Seneca puts iteloquently: I ask you,would you not sayone was the greatestof fools who believedthat a lamp was worseoff when it wasextinguished thanbefore it was lighted?
