    Okay, so it is possible to find inherent meaning in lives you did not create. Yay!

    except predication of choice makes it literally not inherent

    neither does potential imply inherent either

    it’s trivial to imagine simple real world examples that would make any positive aspect of living rather insufficient to the point where dying young and unexpectedly is almost a blessing among alternatives

    if aggressive cancer, long lasting stroke or alzheimer’s is in my future let me die sooner in my sleep

    to say nothing of famine, massive drought and war

    if i knew i’d live to experience alzheimer’s let me never be born
