Help on a course
I hope I don't get failed for this and hopefully this is in the right thread. I have an essay I have to do for philosophy and could benefit from any input you guys might have.

Basically, it is typical to think of the time after one's death to be a misfortune. But we don't in the same way, think of the time before one's birth as misfortune. Is this misfortune justified?

I can think of Nagel's perspective on the loss or deprivation of a life that has been lived. The death of a person is regarded as a loss of time from which he can be potentially living, while in birth, there is no loss of potential living time.

write the essay about how you have to think about stupid stuff is a misfortune in itself and how your time should be spent saving baby whales
