Interesting quote..

All men and women are born, live suffer and die;
what distinguishes us one from another is our
dreams, whether they be dreams about worldly or
unworldly things, and what we do to make them
come about... We do not choose to be born. We
do not choose our parents. We do not choose our
historical epoch, the country of our birth, or the
immediate circumstances of our upbringing. We do
not, most of us, choose to die; nor do we choose
the time and conditions of our death. But within
this realm of choicelessness, we do choose how
we live.

- Joseph Epstein
