I don't think it's "F'd-up" at all. I even wish that myself sometimes. Some people just don't have very good lives and really do think it would have been better to never have been born at all.

I think he's a coward and suffering from depression, being born is a cursing and blessing. We must positively follow our pre-determined journey

Jesus said this , "it is better u had never been born , than to harm(one hair on his head) an innocent child"...sounds like a pretty good warning to me.....would not want that punishment ...wonder if it is as bad as satans and the false teachers and prophets..? hmmmmmmmm...scary thought... but in the other outlook of such...i've never been so ungrateful ...i think of my kids, which i would never change...had some really bad losses and times but never thought such...:)justme

in some instances yes. Have you seen the conditions some children are born into, in this world? When a child in africa is born into deep poverty, and is born with AIDS, and barely has anything to eat, i think this statement would apply.

Sophocles was pretty smart actually. On the other side of this life we live, there are none of the problems we face on a daily basis.. there are no taxes, all of our desires are fulfilled, all is one.... i can't see that as being so bad sounds like heaven.
