Would you rather he lived forever? you know that wasn't going to happen, be glad that he died the way he did, peacefully.

True, but he never asked to be born
For people who have not read him that is one of his main themes, he will tell some sad story then comment that the person never asked to be born.

it could be that everybody before their birth is asked wether or not s/he wishes to be born... and then the forget after birth... ^_~

Because that would involve some sort of metaphysical being. If I was asked to be born then I must have been alive in some form before that so I still did not have a choice whether to be alive or not. If you think about the odds they are pretty mind blowing to think of all of the millions of sperm yet only one has even the slightest chance for life. I see unguided chance as the answer not the metaphysical. If some divine agent were involved it seems like a waste to destroy the millions of other sperm, since only one would be needed. Evolution provides a better answer since if only one sperm was sent the odds of failure would be great so lots have to be sent in order to have one succeed.
I like something that gold demon weaver said "Trying to give reason to life is like trying to give reason to a car accident."
Other good life quotes:
A man said to the universe:
"Sir I exist!"
"However," replied the universe,
"The fact has not created in me
A sense of obligation."
-- Stephen Crane
Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.
William Shakespeare
To The As-Yet-Unborn, to all innocent wisps of undifferentiated nothingness: Watch out for life.
I have caught life. I have come down with life. I was a wisp of undifferentiated nothingness, and then a little peephole opened quite suddenly. Light and sound poured in. Voices began to describe me and my surroundings. Nothing they said could be appealed. They said I was a boy named Rudolph Waltz, and that was that. They said the year was 1932, and that was that. They said I was in Midland City, Ohio, and that was that.
They never shut up. Year after year they piled detail upon detail. They do it still. You know what they say now? They say the year is 1982, and that I am fifty years old.
Blah blah blah.

good for me if lucids is ugly too, makes you the common factor
and i stand agains the reasoning that nothing can truly proved or disproved and that you both have a chance at being right or wrong
