The Laughing Prisoner:
Sometimes when I think about freedom and free will, I just burst out of laughter. These two words lead us to be delusional and hopeful while living in a cage. Close your eyes and think about your origin—your birth. The most crucial moment of your life: you were born because your parents wanted a child, or maybe you were born mistakenly.
But what about you? Did you want to be born? Born into a world which eventually eats souls, *** minds, tangles thoughts, vanishes traces of identity, and restrains your freedom? Now tell me: did you want to be born? Was it your decision to exist on Earth? I know it wasn't, because no one asked for your consent. Your existence is based on someone else’s decision and desire. How, then, can you expect to live free and breathe fresh air? You were born with invisible chains of expectations and desires. I remember the quote of the famous philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau, who said, 'Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains.' But I think man was never free. He was born with the chains."

I ll again point out to your amazing writing and express with words. Well done for that
But I think somehow my opinion here is somewhat different. Yes indeed people are born without their consent: ofcourse they cannot be asked whether they should come or not come in this earth because it simply isnt possible.
The point is that think about this: we didnt die at birth which means we are here, still fighting to live, to become who we want to become, to love ourselves, make our lifes.
People have to think they are NOT chained. They yes were born without their consent but life is a gift if we all take it seriously, enjoy the moment and live in it and fight out problems. Life is not easy but life is for everyone.
My opinion is that we weren't ask about coming here or not but now we cannot change that so let's focus on this. Let's change our lives and our selves to what we want to become let's become the best version of ourselves and love the outcome of it.
Ofcourse this is my opinion and I m.not here to argue! I respect your opinion. Amazing writing i ll point out again
Take care and be safe 💙🫂
