Life is more than just being comfortable and rich.
The world has always “been ending”. Look back at any period in the last couple of centuries and you’ll find doomsayers. They were wrong.
But hey maybe the world will get worse overall, but it’s not like humans haven’t suffered through worse. And just because times are tough it doesn’t mean you can’t have a fulfilling life with human connections being a key part to that fulfillment.
Dont have kids if you don’t want to but I’m not going to put my life on hold because maybe the world will get crappy.
- abenga 3y agoIt's not my life though, is it? That's already a done deal, and I wasn't given a choice. The question is whether I should bring forth a new one.
- refurb 3y agoSure it's not your life, but just because you didn't find fulfillment, or riches, or happiness, doesn't mean your children won't. Like I said, don't have kids if you don't want to. Nobody should. But the idea the world is doomed and your offspring are destine for a life of misery isn't really based on reality.
