That’s basically the core difference between the 2 political parties in the US currently. One essentially believes humans have a right to be alive, and the other does not. All the other policy differences kind of stem from that.

Can I be the Genx here and just … yeah, we’ve always had to work for survival. Like each and every organism that find a niche. They are all working… even photosynthesis is a kind of activity.

Good grief.

All critters have to work. Think about it.

No one deserves to be alive, except perhaps by virtue of being alive in that everyone deserves the converse: not to have life taken from them.

You had millions of possible brothers and sisters who didn't make it. You were just the lucky one.

And, of course, earn a living means make enough to support yourself, and others if you choose. Nothing to do with what is inferred and also not something everyone can do.

You don't, deserve it. Life is a privilege, everyday you wake up, is one more day to be grateful for.

That's true, but sometimes it feels like life is just a series of obstacles we have to overcome. It's not always easy to be grateful for every day. But I guess that's what makes life worth living!

You know the human experience wasn't meant to be like this. I understand where this message was going. I have a slanted view because I lost all the good ones, in my life. You do you, be happy doing it.

You don’t deserve to be alive though, and it applies to everyone, even animals, if you don’t do the bare minimum you’ll die hot, cold, thirsty or hungry.

It means by default you have to contribute to the society that you live in. And this is required in order for there to be a functional society to live in. It's not an arbitrary rule, just a logical requirement.
