Why would anyone bring kids into this messed up world?

People want someone to call them mum or dad. The state of the world has little to do with their decision.

Have you noticed the smart people who cannot afford or don’t want kids don’t have them. But the one who can’t afford them, or they have them because the can are the ones razing the next generation of adults. Its kinda scary don’t you think.

Well when you’re allied with the state and it promises to take care of you and your kids with other people’s money then the incentive of having one becomes that much more tempting.

This is one of the areas I do give a great deal of thought to.

I am at that age, where I could have a family. But this place. Acclimating to it. It brings out the worst in people.

What I have observed. In this system, is that in order to become successful. Very often, a person has to let go of what makes them a human being to begin with.

Kindness, compassion. These are lost, to greed, learning to be cut throat. Ruthlessness. Ambition. Greed.

I have always wanted to have kids. But myself having come through this meat grinder. It is hard to want to bring in a new life, into this place, and watch that life be perverted and twisted by all the hooks. iphones,ipads,ipods, i(whateverthef~~~).

When I see babies, and see the purity they have. And contrast it to what we have here. I feel sad, for the s~~~ they will go through.

Yes, previous posts mention that times and life have always been hard. I agree. But rarely, have we in the span of 100-150 years, killed off countless species. It is a kind of accelerated compression that this world exists in. Using up every last resource.

Prior to now, there was at least the promise of life. Hard or otherwise. But now, water is scare, resources. Nature. Everything is being killed off.

To bring a new life into such conditions, is what worries me. And what I am left to decide. As I have 2 options. Just go my own way, or try to have a family, in the safest way possible. Prenups, etc. Not even sure that I can protect myself from the courts.

It is something which we who are in our mid years have to face and choose. I don’t like either option quite frankly.
