Why?

Dammit I hate that quote. If it feels that good to be pessamistic then wear beartraps as shoes and claim "its cheaper than nikes!" Then have a kid and throw it out a plane to prove how unfair life is.

If you were born with lung cancer, then that would be dying from birth. If you were born with a knife in your stomach, that would also be dying from birth. But saying that you are dying from birth to a death 70 years later is just stupid. Especially since you are more living in your first twenty years than when you are in the womb. In fact, if you could call anything the opposite of dying, it would be puberty, so there is no way that as soon as you are born you start dying.
Maybe you ram one nail a day into your head, but for most people, they are living until they actually do start dying.

But anyway, it hurts to be alive because that is how you know you are alive. If it didn't hurt you would be a robot, and they... wait, they are alive too. So, I guess the answer is because you are human. Thank god I'm not, 'cause that would suck.
