    Same goes for consent. You have no ability to do anything before you exist, because there is no you, unless you believe in having a soul or attachment outside of our plane of existence.

    But yes, at the root of it all: You may not have chosen to be here (or maybe you did and you just don’t remember and don’t like your experience now), but perhaps you can make the most of your short time present.

    Welcome to Earth and try to enjoy the ride. Nothing seems to be permanent.

      Consent is an action. You can do nothing while you don’t exist. (Usually not doing things is all you do while not existing.) You must be alive (or have been alive) to consent (or have consented).

      “Against my will” requires you to have preferences to be ignored. This can’t happen before you have preferences.
