It would be immoral for me to have kids. To bring them to this meaningless world, full of pain, sorrow, death, hardship, work, illness etc. The good, happy moments of life pass away in the blink in the eye, while the bad moments of life seem to be much longer. The unhealthy things in life seem to be the things that bring us the most joy. People constantly looking for any sort of distraction or getaway such as weed, alcohol, love to make them escape from this terrible world momentarily. This generation is glued to their electronic devices because it is simply a more enjoyable alternative to life and a escape.We are just living in a temporary treacherous cycle of work, distractions, pain and the ultimate goal of life, happiness, which is completely short-lived all to the end of our inevitable death. Isn’t it funny when a father tries to give their kids life lessons they usually involve some sort of pain or hardship in order to “better prepare for them for life.” The reason people have kids is a selfish reason anyway, they do it because it gives life more meaning or it’s because they believe it’s their responsibility as a human being. I like to think the people that do find life great are just the one’s who are simple minded, just like I was when I was a somewhat happy child and couldn’t wait to grow up. Think of the positives they say, well I can only see so many positives in a world full of negatives. I personally hate living in a world where I am the happiest when I am not thinking. Why am I still alive today? Because as people say you only live once, so I am trying to survive and obtain a somewhat enjoyable life before I am completely wiped off from existence and not given a second chance. That goal however, seems to be more impossible as I keep going.

I don’t want kids either. I know I wouldn’t be a good parent so why should I make some innocent suffer?
Haha likewise. Another reason I didn’t mention
I decided years ago that I’d adopt children. But I don’t see the world as meaningless; I just don’t want them to experience the same pain I did. I always wanted to adopt or foster, even when I thought I might have my own as well.
My reasons for having kids are definitely selfish. Humans are inherently selfish. If it’s the kind of selfish where you’re willing to dedicate a lot of time and work towards raising and helping someone who brings you joy, I don’t think it’s a bad thing. It isn’t something I’d do unless/until I can be more active, learn to be mentally stable and happy, and ideally be working and in a long-term relationship. I’ve come to realise that there’s a much bigger chance I won’t have children than I thought possible, and if I do have them it won’t be as early in life as I hoped. If I believed they’d spend years of life feeling the way I do, I wouldn’t consider it. So I can see your point. The thought of passing on my illnesses is terrible, but they’re in my genes – not the world around me.
I don’t think people who find life great are simple-minded. For some people it comes naturally, but there are people who are severely depressed for years before they start to love life again. For some people it takes a lot of practice and dedication.
I know how you feel when you say you’re happiest when you aren’t thinking. But that’s what some people do to recover – they work on changing on their thoughts until they find more positives and start to feel happy again. I understand that it can seem impossible to enjoy life when it’s like it is now. But it’ll seem less possible if you start to believe that a person must be simple-minded to enjoy life, or that it’s an ability that you have or don’t have and you can’t change that.
I was very lucky. I found a small child living in poverty on the internet that had no dad and I bought him for $35. Even though I wasn’t the most stable person I still did a decent job of raising him. In the process I learned much about myself. He’s 20 now and is grappling with life and college but I know he going to be OK. I love him so much!
I will adopt other people’s children from the parking lot at the mall..LOL. That’s cheap, and easy. 😉
There’s plenty to be had. LOL don’t take me seriously I am kidding.
I don’t really know what I’ll do. I already know I don’t want biological children. I may adopt but it depends on how my life is in the future. Some people have children because their told to or they want to please their parents or they don’t like condoms or abortions or etc etc. I don’t know.
I call my dog my “son.” Maybe I’ll just live a life with animals.
