[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jernau Morat Gurgeh: [QB] [QUOTE]If you see life itself is a blessing, as I do, what have you to complain about? If you think you DESERVE life, for whatever reason you can come up with, then you have EVERYTHING to complain about.[/QUOTE] That's an interesting viewpoint, and not without some truth, but having been away from religion for quite some time now, I find it difficult to put myself into the frame of mind that views existance itself in such a subjective manner. I think that someone who is in such a mindset will, indeed, have some predisposition to feel a certain way about life. However, I think that it's pointless to criticise someone who is not content with their life. You view life as a blessing, but would you feel the same way if you were in pain, or sad, depressed, and lonely? [QUOTE]Is it better to have a child born blind (or whatever), or to have never had a child at all?[/QUOTE] Although I think you're expecting people to answer that it's better to have had a handicapped child than none at all, I think that there are valid reasons for preferring the opposite. I've just rewritten a paragraph on my views on this subject a few times, but I can't seem to hammer out the points properly without dragging the discussion towards the existance and nature of morality, which has already been discussed exhaustively in other threads.
