A little backstory on this first. After watching an old British Sci-fi comdedy called Red Dwarf, there is one episode where a robot makes people justify their existence and if they can't deletes them from time and space and replaces them with another life, one of the sperms that didn't make it to the egg(so to speak).
Anyway this bring me to my question. Members of the Escapist, justify your existence. Why do you deserve life?
EDIT: The robot takes on the persona of the accused, therefor you are judged by yourself. The robot also believes in no god or afterlife.
I remember that bit. "Oh smeg, indeed."
HIM: Well?
ME: You have to ask?
HIM: Yes, I do.
ME: Because you know an argument between us, that is 'me and me', will take hours.
HIM: Time has no meaning during this discussion.
ME: Convenient, but I can simplify this.
HIM: I hope so, because you tend to rant on a bit.
ME: Exactly. Besides, I've seen the episode, so I've given this some thought. The fact is that I am the center of my existence and it tends to work for
me.
HIM: I forgot you'd taken Existentialism back then. So, you're basically saying that because things have gone your way, your current existence must be where it should be?
ME: You don't try to fix what isn't broken. And you know me, I'm an ungodly hell towards anyone or any THING that tries to disrupt my life. You're getting off easy because I figured arguing with myself still means that I'm right.
HIM: You know, I was suppose to take a contary position here.
ME: Yes, but if you're being me, you don't even believe I could be wrong about this. The you that's the time-traveling android chose this way of life, as did I. If a personal choice in lifestyle is wrong, then we'd both be wrong. You do what you feel must be done, and I feel that I am living well and deserving it.
HIM: *Sigh* Never argue with asshole who's taken philosophy courses. You may go.
