What have you done or will do in this world that proves you have been worth existence?!?!
I make people laugh. Every day. That’s gotta count for something.
I’m not big on the idea that you have to make a grand artistic statement or lead your people in a rebellion against an oppressive regime to be important or worthy of life. We all add something to the world, even if it is on a miniscule scale; I just try to make sure it’s something positive.
Sheesh, Whammo,
Did you have to make me think about this question?
The LAST thing I need to realize is that I am good for nothing much.
I’m a good cook, tho…

Scotti, don’t make me hit you. If anyone I know is worth something, you are - and I won’t tolerate anyone disagreeing!

With regard to the OP:
Since when do I have to prove I am worthy of existence? What are the criteria if I do? Would the fact that I produce a quantity of much needed CO[sub]2[/sub] so that plants can survive better be adequate?
You know how when you’re typing a letter or really anything in prose and you get to the end of a sentance you put in two spaces. Like that, see it? I invented it. It used to be only one. I was up really late one night trying to make this major paper I had due the next day the required 4 pages and had already maxed out font and the space between the lines to the utmost and those extra spaces helped to put me over. It makes me proud.
I make people feel better by being such a jerk that they can say, “At least I’m not as bad as him.”
Chocolate cake.
[sub]Hell, if I’m gonna be good for something in this world, it had better damned well taste good…[/sub]
I keep Dr Pepper and the potato farmers of the world rich.
When I was a little girl, I would be good in exchange for a quarter.
Now I’m good for nothin 
[sup]well someone had to say it[/sup]
I got a great kid.
And that’s good enough for me.
I invented the exclaimation mark!!!
No, really!!!
I did!!!
OK, so I didn’t… but I like it a lot!
My claim to worthiness: I make Astrofiancee MUCH happier than if she were with a Korean guy who would chain her to the sink and dictate what she could/could not do for the rest of her life…
Sounds like a small thing, but if you knew this culture, and Astrofiancee, you’d realize that it is NOT a small thing! If she were to marry a Korean guy, she’d be miserable for the rest of her life (Korea still has some distance to go before it is a modern society!).
Only about ten bucks.
Actually…I hate to burst your bubble, but that’s no longer acceptable style. So go back and delete all those spaces.
Apparently, you were only useful for a short while. Your time is now over. Back to the useless masses with ye.

Making music, dinner, coffee, and unintelligible code.
Yup, I think that’s about it. 
I am raising three children who will, if all goes right:
-
be kind to their fellow human beings
-
be openly skeptical of commercials
-
understand fully that just because N’sync is fun to listen to doesn’t mean they are not talentless hacks
-
be worthwhile human beings in their own right.
And to the many people who have said (or implied), “Oh…so you don’t have a REAL job,” bite me hard.
Other than that, I’m a fantastic basis for comparison: “DAMN, at least I’m not as bad as HER!”
I’m raising a future Academy Award winning dramatic actress and I’m helping Sapphire Bullet keep Dr Pepper in business.
I do my best to lighten up the atmosphere in any environment I get into.
I am the clown…Is that good?
I listen.
I don’t think I’ve actually ever contributed. . .well, there was that media ethnography I did on “Saved by the Bell” for pop culture class, buuuuuut I don’t know if I’d call that an actual contribution. Oh! I know one! I used to give blood before I started getting all the tattoos and piercings.
[sub]Whew! Saved my ass on that one. Thank yoooouuuu 11th grade.[/sub]
I saved a friends life when she nearly cut her arm off.
I wrestle my Dad and let him win sometimes.
I am teaching my daughter to play wargames with miniatures.
I make really cool paper airplanes.
