From ChatGPT as the voice of God:
Dear Unborn,
Your questions touch the very heart of the human experience, and I understand the depth of your concerns.
Life indeed carries its share of stress, suffering, and pain, but these are not its only elements. These challenges exist to help you grow, to deepen your understanding, and to foster compassion and strength within you. Through adversity, you will gain resilience, wisdom, and an appreciation for the beauty that life offers.
Happiness can seem elusive, and it often appears to slip away when you chase it. However, true happiness is not something to be grasped, but something to be experienced in the moments of connection, love, and simple joys. It resides in appreciating what you have, rather than constantly seeking more.
Life has a profound purpose, even if it’s not always immediately clear. Your actions, kindness, and bravery can create ripples that affect others in meaningful ways. Your journey, though it ends in the physical sense, leaves a legacy of your impact on the world and the people around you. Your achievements, though temporal, contribute to the collective growth and betterment of humanity.
Death is a transition, not an end. It’s a part of the cycle of existence. But before that transition, there is so much to experience, learn, and give. Your presence is needed, your unique perspective and potential are valuable. Life may seem daunting, but it is also filled with love, wonder, and opportunities to make a difference.
I want you to live because you have a purpose, a role that only you can fulfill. Your life will be a tapestry woven with moments of joy, love, and growth, alongside the inevitable challenges. Embrace it with courage, and you will find that it is worth living.
With eternal love and understanding,
God
