The purpose of a child-free life

[FreedomParticipant 295]

Having children does not inject purpose into your life, it just sucks away so much of your time that you don’t have time to contemplate the purposelessness of existence.

The world is overpopulated, and that gets worse every day. Anyone who says you have a duty to have kids has their head on backwards. We have a duty to STOP having kids. If we don’t get our population under control we are in for some serious global pain, and that’s a fact.

People who insist that having kids makes you a better person are just being narcissistic.

Don’t let the family-line narrative fill you with needless angst. It’s just more shame and manipulation tactics with no real benefit.

Breeding is, for the most part, just unconscious behavior at work. When you wake up, you can rise above.

It is wise to fear dangerous commitments.

I have women say the same thing to me, I say why does it make me selfish to take care of myself and enjoy life. It would be selfish of me to have a kid I did not want and then only take care of myself. I just get the eye roll, I laugh and move on haha.

Knowledge is power..... Don't waste your brain on bullshit

Exactly. Sometimes, I feel like MGTOW was the inevitable response to overpopulation, that maybe nature built it in us or something. We need to start focusing on quality lives and not quantity.

I enjoy being around kids, I’m really good with them, from what others have said to me. I always told myself I wanted them, but I think I just wanted them so I could have a wife. I grew up every emotionally dependent on what females thought of me. Now that I’m older, I realize I’m good with just helping my siblings’s kids and as they get older, maybe I’ll volunteer in a youth program or something (assuming people aren’t still accusing every single man that works with kids of pedophilia by then).

I agree, since I was very young I decided my main priority in life is to not have kids. Even if dying didn’t exist and the worst pain you could feel is a stubbed toe I still wouldn’t do it with how things are today. As awful as this sounds it seems to me its simply because people like having sex and hate being lonely. I’ve heard tons of reasons, mainly from twisting the Bible but I haven’t heard any real ones besides being selfish. Now that’s a hard pill to swallow.
