1- The world is ruled by the rich- they rig the system to keep themselves rich and the poor poor, and you lose
2- They don’t tell you you’ll spend your entire youth (K-12) going to a crappy school that does nothing but brainwash you to become a good little worker ant and to never complain. And what little education you do receive is mostly useless in real life.
3- You spend the best years of your life (18-21) going to an over-inflated college to get a useless and overpriced college degree which will put you massively in debt and will spend decades to pay back, for four fucking years of “education.”
4- Some of you will go on to grad school. MORE debt and MORE of your youth is lost.
5- After college, you’ll be desperate to get any job. After all, you now have debt at the tender age of 21 or so. You’ll work insanely long hours and the pay is shite.
6- You’ll be too in debt to get married and have kids, but society tells you that you MUST. So you do it. The average couple spends $26,645 for a stupid overpriced wedding.
7- Then comes the kids. Oh the brats kids that society tells you you must have to “complete” your life.
8- You have those kids but you both must work every day, so who really takes care of your kids? And how much time does one actually spend with their children nowadays anyway? “As of 2011, mothers spend about 13.5 hours per WEEK with their children, while fathers spend about 7.3 hours per WEEK.” Uhm, so WTF is the point of having a kid if you’re only going to spend a few hours a day with them?
9- You will work till you get old and used up and corporations have extracted as much as they can from you. Now no one will hire you. Now you can “retire” at 65. Now you can finally “go on that vacation” or “do that thing you’ve always wanted to do” now that you’re “free.” At the tender age of 65 (or is retirement 67 now?)
10- Anyhow, you’re old. Your bones and joints ache. You can’t go travelling the world or “do all the things you’ve wanted to do” because now you’re old and your body can’t do most of those things, and you’re tired. And you probably don’t have the money.
11- You spend the last years of your life physically and mentally wasting away, in and out of hospitals, slowly dying, mired in medical bills.
12- You’re “lucky” if you die. If they even LET you die. Most places won’t let you pull the plug, even if you have an advanced health directive which specifies your death wishes.
That’s it. That’s “Life” folks.

“But, but, you’re not mentioning all the JOYS of life, all the wonder, amazement, and happiness…”
“What fucking happiness?” I never asked to be born. I never asked for any of this shit. Fuck you and “the world is awesome” shit.

i will say this largely depends on the country one resides/grow up in
which is why i’m somewhat thankful for being “lucky” enough to be born in a country where most of the above doesn’t apply.
though number 1 is pretty true, it’s just the way of mankind, always has been always will be, we “want” and will always want more, few things are ever enough to settle humans desires
I wish I was a caveman.
EXACTLY. This is more like the 12 steps of life. And even if people knew these things they still would want you to do them. “You have to go to College! You have to get married! You have to have kids! You have to work as a wage slave!” It’s so stupid. As you said, I never asked to be born, I didn’t choose life. My parents chose it for me but now that I’m alive I’m forced to live out a long existence full of suffering.
I remember I was kid when I asked my father. What’s the purpose of this life and what was the point of living and he said : son we all men born to get married and have than children otherwise you’ll be worthless and your life have no matter.try to be good as possible to other people so when you die others will remember you. All the shitty crappy things and there’s more much more I don’t remember.
It’s because we were trained from birth to believe that these things are required and if we do not accomplish these goals were called things like, slackers, losers, worthless shits and more.
I grew up in abusive family. Only anger and offense. I were their toy who made their lives meaningful. They planted all the things I hate in myself. I don’t understand why they did this? Were they bored with their lives? What they though? What they expected? Country where is zero opportunitie for success. If you’re going to neglect your child what’s the point of having? Lemme guess to support and help them in their old age? They don’t deserve it.
Don’t think people care as mch these days about needing kids. The other points are spot on.
