Yes. "It sucks" is exactly the phrase that comes to mind to explore the question of whether or not one has a right to actually live.

[Dirk is deadpan in this, but it isn't really a criticism. He is used to Jake's own way of approaching things, and Roxy's, and Jane's, and then there is his own. Geir, in a way, fits in.]

I'm a little perplexed here about why the question is if you can be alive instead of how you should be alive.
