Being born is not optional. Nobody chooses if they are born or not.

I see where you’re going with this in that you could have an abortion or die due to some other reason pre-birth, but the more you think about this, the less of a profound shower thought it is

Being born is not optional, and dying may not be mandatory one day

Optional does not mean it's a choice. At least that's how I understand this showerthought

Nah, being born is not a choice an individual can make for themself. It can be a choice others make...

That aside, everything in between is a choice.
