So even though you cannot choose to be born and yet you are born and now have the choice whether another life comes into the world or not right?

Or wrong. Why do you care?
Why are you caring to respond to me?
I care about the suffering of evil problem, that's why I care.

Because you personally didn't choose to be born, I just want to know how you feel about that?
It doesn't bother me. I can choose to become unborn at any moment.
Yes you could kill yourself, but the point is, you cannot birth yourself. So in essence what you are killing is an idea that you exist.

That's fine if you like it, but you could never know if someone else likes it. By that I mean choosing to bring new life into the world, not knowing whether they would like it or not, would that be fair to bring another life into the world of suffering?

You have the choice to NOT be here.

The suffering doesn't seem to bother you. You haven't killed yourself.

Just because I haven't suggested one doesn't mean I haven't got one.
So you have no idea of whether I am lying about it or not, this is just an assumption you are making.
You haven't acted upon it. That's enough to infer that "the solution" bothers you more than "the problem".

Having knowledge ..is suffering, and suffering is evil incarnate which is felt by every living sentient human being.
Humans are the only known custodians of knowledge brought into existence by the sense of being self-aware.
Humans are aware they know knowledge, they have knowledge of being aware of what they know.
Animals feel pain and discomfort, but it's unclear if they have a sense of suffering from what they are feeling. An animal can't tell itself it is suffering from it's pains and discomforts, whereas humans can. Therefore, knowledge is everything that is wrong and evil about life for the human being.
Ignorance is bliss. This has been shown by the correlation between years of education and incidence of depression.

Yes of course you have the choice to not be here, you cannot make a choice unless you are here to make it.
Even though you yourself did not choose to be here. So just who is making the choices?

Just because I haven't killed myself does not mean suffering does not bother me.
