A child never consents to being born, yet is still forced to live and accept life as a natural course. Life is not inherently evil, but the existence of beings, whether humans or other animals, with their inevitable animalistic nature,
ensures that pain and suffering will always exist. Being born is, in short, simply a horror of nature shitshow.
“Not to be born is, beyond all estimation, best; but when a man has seen the light of day, this is next best by far, that with utmost speed he should go back from where he came. For when he has seen youth go by, with its easy merry-making, what hard affliction is foreign to him, what suffering does he not know? Envy, factions, strife, battles, and murders. Last of all falls to his lot old age, blamed, weak, unsociable, friendless, wherein dwells every misery among miseries.”
All animals are barbaric creatures, humans included - though humans are more intelligent than other species. Sentience gives them higher intelligence, yet it also ensures they feel pain and misery much more profoundly. They are still tribal, like any other animals, but contradictorily have their own moral sense of righteousness, which breeds all evils: envy, hypocrisy, and false notions of morality.
Morality does not exist in nature, for other animals have far lower levels of sentience than the human race. For humans, things are much more complicated. They are distinct from other animals, yet their tribal, savage nature is not so different - causing suffering and an endless cycle of miseries, from death and disease to torture, war, greed, and deceit - every cruelty born of sentience itself.
