Thought for the Day
If you're never born, you'll never suffer, you'll never die, and you'll never experience one iota of experiential deprivation concerning the 'good stuff'. On the other hand, if you ARE born, you WILL suffer, you WILL die, and your fulfillment-to-deprivation ratio WILL BE contingent on determining factors mostly to wholly outside your control. On top of which you WILL cause harm to countless lifeforms along the way, no matter how nice of a guy or gal you think you are. Oh, and did I mention that you'll wind up in the very same place you started from before you existed, with absolutely no awareness that you ever existed in the first place? Yeah, there's that.

Jim,
Here's the counterpart to "Hobo with a Shotgun".
The two babies at the beginning synthesize your thought for the day.

Perfect summation. There is nothing to be gained from human life. Just a lot of frustration and torment ending in the grave. Only egotists and monsters enjoy this world.
Excellent thought of the day!
