Now that you have the dual perspective (Mo and exMo) why were you born? What is your best guess, as of this time in your journey?

I appreciate your generosity.

ME: I believe I was born in order to discover and then to utilize my own ability and skills, then to develop and use them in order to be as successful as I can be.

Because my dad had an extra 10 bucks

I was born because my mother got pregnant and reached full term.

Mom & Dad felt the primal urge to breed to In order to sustain the human species.

And besides, my lease was up on my womb. I was evicted because I was a parasite.

"Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned
A sun that is the source of all our power

The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour
Of the galaxy we call the 'milky way'

Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars
It's a hundred thousand light years side to side
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick
But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide

We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point
We go 'round every two hundred million years
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe

The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whizz
As fast as it can go, the speed of light, you know
Twelve million miles a minute and that's the fastest speed there is

So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure
How amazingly unlikely is your birth
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space
'Cause it's bugger all down here on Earth."

Love these guys...pure genius.

Because my parents had sexual intercourse 9 months before my arrival date!

My Mom thought having another baby would save her marriage to a man who could not stop sleeping with anyone who he could. It didn't work they were separated and divorced by the time I was 9 month old.

to rule the world and mortify my enemies or just because my mom and dad were horny I don't know but hey I'm here

I was born because my asshole father joined a cult & married my mom, instead of getting serious psychiatric help for himself & my older siblings after his divorce from their mom.

It was a matter of chance that I was born. It was a matter of chance that hominids evolved. It was a matter of chance that homo sapiens is the species of human that won out over the others. It was a matter of chance that my DNA combined in such a fashion that I take after my father in the ways I do and that I take after my mother in the ways that I do.

because my mommy had gone through a lot of medical issues and many childbirths already and was a bit concerned about having any more children

but my pop really wanted another boy to have some more labor to help with the family business

so he begged and pleaded and bargained and they did the deed and here I am

My parents told me that they bought me at the A&P grocery store for $50.00, which was a buttload of money I guess back in 1953.

It was a random act.

Are you asking for what reason or purpose? Or are you asking for an explanation?

I really don't understand peoples' need to attribute "purpose" or "meaning" to everything. Why is it so difficult to accept that life or nature or the universe don't exist to serve any purpose at all -- that they just are? One of the things that bothers me most about religion is the tremendous amount of conceit in believing that everything revolves around you or exists to serve you. It doesn't. It never did.

I'm an atheist, so I don't believe in any gods. I also don't believe that life has any inherent "purpose" -- it just IS. So why was I born? Because my parents created me. That's it. It was pure chance. I'm actually surprised I'm even here because my mom seems to hate anything remotely sexual. Maybe they used a hole in a sheet, I don't know.

My father's mother-in-law was wealthy, and he coveted that wealth. Her name was Donna and she had a son named David. So my father named me Donald David to curry her favor. But he didn't want her to like me, because he doesn't believe in sharing. So he ran a smear campaign against me and my siblings with her throughout our lives. She was repeatedly reminded that we were all useless. She once told me that she thought my siblings and I were bums and a burden to our long suffering parents. I guess my mom helped with the smear campaign.

I was born for my father's status and gain. He got what he wanted. My siblings and I were excluded from my grandparent's will, but not my mother. And other grandchildren were given shares of the estate, which was ample.

Because the catholic church forbids birth control.

I was born because my mother had a dream/ vision of a young man standing at the foot of her bed looking at her lovingly and smiling. prior to that, Mom and Dad already had 5 kids and moms uterus was about done, so they decided not to have any more.

Then she had the dream/ vision. She said at first she though it was her oldest son, a teenager, standing there. Then she realized it wasn't.

She promptly woke up dad and told him there's one more. I doubt they knocked it out that night, but when they did, I was the result.

I find that story interesting because if I really was trying to let her know that I was there, waiting to be born to this mormon family, I was the only one of 6 kids that actively rejected and rebelled against the church beginning at about age 6....before baptism, so before satan could influence me.

I hated it, didn't want to be a mormon, thought it all sounded made up and with everyone dead that was supposedly there in Joseph Smiths day, no one was alive to offer a first hand account, I said I didn't believe it......used to give my parents fits!

I was really the only kid that never fit the mormon mold.....go ponderize!

Shotgun wedding!

(which is also the name of a band in Berlin)

I'm 50's baby born into the world to help the NeverMo
cause and further the teachings of Spiritualism, Enlightenment,
and Transformation. I believe in Science and Secularism and in
teaching others that millions of Americans are happy living
without Religion, myself included.

I don't think there is a "why."

There's "how" -- mom and dad had sex, a sperm fertilized an egg, the embryo fully developed.

But no "why."

Force of Nature

I am the result of an affair between a school girl and her older boyfriend...that makes me a bastard...a fact I'm proud of. That resulted in my being adopted by a wonderful farm couple and I know I brought joy to their lives so I guess my birth had a purpose.

I was a mistake

Biological father had affair with young lady (19). Oops, "I'm pregnant."

Biodad already married with family - bastard child must be kept secret!

Biomom carries to term, plans to place mistakeson for adoption

Local OB bigwig Mormon Dr. - happens to know TBM niece is looking to adopt

Lawyers hired, papers signed and sealed who knows where

Adoptee born, delivered to OB's niece at just under 1 month age

Niece, her Husband and their two young sons become mistakeson's new family

#Blacksheep
#Useprotection

Condom broke.

$#!t happens.

I wasn't planned, my brother was supposed to be an only.

Oops.

Not the kind of surprise where you go, "Oh, goody" either.

Because The Pill didn't become available until the year after I was born.

Six boys and six girls, and I was the finishing touch.

I took the question to mean something that you discovered in the course of living, not just the birth of the body. Hasn't anyone had a vision, epiphany, or definite conviction somewhere along that indicated some unique contribution you can make or a purpose that will make your life worth living--beyond creature satisfactions, some contribution you and only you can make…

The Whitman quote from Dead Poets Society:

Oh me! Oh life! of the questions of these recurring,
Of the endless trains of the faithless, of cities fill’d with the foolish,
Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than I, and who more faithless?)
Of eyes that vainly crave the light, of the objects mean, of the struggle ever renew’d,
Of the poor results of all, of the plodding and sordid crowds I see around me,
Of the empty and useless years of the rest, with the rest me intertwined,
The question, O me! so sad, recurring—What good amid these, O me, O life?

Answer.
That you are here—that life exists and identity,
That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.

...to play golf and make my girlfriend laugh and feel loved. I enjoy my life.

It was an accident.

I was born because my female parent had an affair with some guy while she was married to another guy. Oh well...

I still have a hard time imagining my parents having sex. But they did it at least six times. Dad seemed like the most asexual person I've ever known.

Also, I felt like I didn't belong in my family. If they'd told me I'd been adopted, it would have made sense. If they'd told me I was left by humanoids from another planet, it would have explained everything. So maybe I was created in a lab in some distant galaxy.

My parents wanted a second child - and it worked.

My parents had boys, and they wanted a girl. I was a combination punching-bag and servant to the boys. My great-grandfather was a polygamist, and I was born into a dysfunctional polygamist, sexist cult family. They were all blue-eyed blondes. I was dark. They joked that I looked like a Chinese baby. Maybe I got mixed-up in the nursery. Somewhere there's a very confused Chinese couple. I am small-boned, studious, and very good at math....
