> I'm plenty happy living my life as I see fit
Then why would you imagine parents tell their kids that life is "fucking horrible", instead of telling them that life is "plenty happy"? Like, everything you describe, you have or will go through as well, and apparently you don't find it to be "shit. Absolute shit".
- Dalewyn 4y agoI'm happy, or at least as happy as I can be, but I don't consider the cycle of life as something I want to see repeated with successive generations. One lap around the course is plenty. If others want to bring more horses in, they're welcome to; as for me I'm not interested.
- mcphage 4y agoSure, there’s plenty of reasons to not have kids, I do get that. But “I’m happy with life but I think that everyone else’s is horrible misery” is an odd position to hold.
- Dalewyn 4y ago>I think that everyone else’s is horrible misery When did I ever say that? I don't care about others' lives, it's none of my business. I find life, as far as I experience it, to be overall horrible. I'm plenty happy regardless, but it's nonetheless not something I'm interested in foisting onto my hypothetical kids.
- mcphage 4y ago> not something I'm interested in foisting onto my hypothetical kids Nor is anyone asking you to. Just, don't go around assuming that parents tell their kids that "life is, on average, fucking horrible"—instead, they show their kids how to be happy, like you are.
