Is life a gift or a curse? The answer is unknown. If you think about it, life has always been a competition. I mean even before you were born you were competing. What are the chances that the sperm and egg cells that met were the ones that formed you? Had it been any other sperm or egg, you wouldn't be here. I guess you can call it a gift... then again, if life is given, it is also taken. What I mean is you are given chance to experience life but once it ends, it's all over... that's it. Imagine yourself younger and you tried sugar for the first time, but then they took it away and you may never taste it again. Wouldn't it have been better to have never tasted it in the first place? What if you were born into an abusive family, or have birth defects, or develop cancer? Would you still want to have lived?
