You can ask the question, but its like trying to fit a storm in a tea cup or describe the what a steak tastes like to a person who has never eaten meat. The fact of the matter is the (Western) world is becoming more selfish as we immerse ourselves in technology and hyper convenience. I've read that reddit board before, you can quite literally sum up everyone's problems as being too selfish. If you think about others and SACRIFICE then you no longer dwell on your own problems. BTW it's intellectually dishonest to talk about population and usage of natural resources and not talk about demographics. Nearly every native Western population is in decline, this is an existential issue for Western civilisation.

Not everyone subscribes to the believe of needing to sacrifice their own lifetime, when they have have no interest in having children. It is fine, if you personally do. Just stop trying to push that as the single truth onto other people. What is stopping you from simply keeping your opinions addressing yourself, instead of trying to make them into over-generalized views to be pushed onto others? You could say: "For me it was the right decision to do X." and it would be fine. Accept, that others are different.

  You are right. I am projecting, but there is a reason why I am. I really don't want anyone to miss out on the opportunity, it's fricking hard but its the most worthwhile thing most people can ever do. We've been led to believe that having kids takes away from you, that's BS. Anyway I seem to have touched a nerve, I sense some cognitive dissonance within you. On a primal level you know it makes sense, on a thinking level you are conflicting. Follow your natural instinct it's been engineered by nature to ensure our survival.
