A. Every effect has its own cause. There is no effect without cause. Even a cause is also an effect of other causes. Everything is cause and effect at the same time. It follows that our birth is also an effect of causes we made, although we don’t remember what they are, and is simultaneously a cause for another effect.
Then, can we say that a person doesn’t choose to be born if his birth is the result of the causes he made previously? If his life doesn’t happen to be a life that he wants, it sounds more reasonable to say that he made a wrong choice, rather than say that he didn’t choose to be born.
