I've never shared the sentiments of those sayin they don't want kids. Some great minds whom I highly respect talk about not wanting to bring children into this world cus of how it is, it's never made sense to me.
Our whole purpose here is to ensure our survival through our young, you gotta plant seeds, its one of our most basic drives. Denying that is a bit like saying we have evolved to the point where we no longer share those most basic of natural instincts, like we are no longer an animal at all.
When you're dead n gone if you didn't leave any kids then what was the point? You never really had anything. Surely you gotta wanna leave your mark on this world?
And I know society is a fucked up place, no doubt about that, but don't let all the negatives dissuade you from choosing probably the most life affirming experience you will ever get.
So as much as I respect those great minds who talk about not wanting to bring new life into a world with such vast suffering I count myself lucky my parents didn't buy into that line of thought. And no doubt my kids will feel the same, hopefully when I have some.
