who said you were alive

Because I have been unsuccessful in my attempts to kill you. So far.

You're alive because your parents fucked and your Mum didn't have an abortion, or miscarry.

Maybe, you're not alive, and it's all an illusion.

It's a long story ...

You are alive because you can reproduce, take in energy, and make waste.
But I don't have proof. You could just be existing.

You aren't alive, you are just a an android who can act human and feel emotions. YOU'RE ONLY A MACHINE!

Because two people had unprotected sex and a particular sperm happened to hook up with a particular egg and poof! You were created.

'cause the Man in the Moon chooses you to be alive

you were born to be alive. [link]
...why should I be the only one to suffer

Because the great sky fairy allows you to be.

Because you suck.

Are you a giant penis with wings?

What is this alive people are talking about?

Oh, you aren't.

Because I said so.

You're not alive. Just merely existing.

You were born

Because you're still breathing thanks to the marvels of modern technology.

read this [link] book. it's not the whole book but it still has some good sections.

like this [link] I wish it had page 128...

but the basic premise is you exist because you exist, it's recursive to the point of nausea and you can't escape existing. even when you're dead you still exist because your matter still exists. as Sartre says "there's no halfway house between existing and not existing, you have to exist all the way"

so much so, the one thing descartes couldn't doubt when he did his whole "doubt everything" routine was that he existed. "I think therefore I am".

So you are alive because...

in other words, existence precedes essence - so right now literally you have to find out why you are alive.
