If you could prevent your existence, would you? Why? Why not?

Life consists of both suffering and enjoyment. Some suffer more, some enjoy more. I have suffered much more than I have enjoyed. I continue to suffer daily. I think others would be better off if I were never conceived. I think I would be better off if I were never conceived. Am I right to feel like this? Am I wrong to feel like this? I don't know.

Life is what it is. We just have to make the most of it and make it the best we can for ourselves and for others. I'm not sure how helpful it is to dwell too long on paradoxes like this!

There are three fundamental questions for anyone advocating Brexit:

1. What, precisely, are the significant and tangible benefits of leaving the EU?
2. What damage to the UK and its citizens is an acceptable price to pay for those benefits?
3. Which ruling of the ECJ is most persuasive of the need to leave its jurisdiction?

It's not helpful. My mood is low. I am struggling with chronic pain, insomnia, nightmares, flashbacks. I am trying to live and help live. It's not going well. Thank you.
