Why do people bring kids in these cruel world?

[Lost Magic]

I just thought it would be interesting to share a Quora thread. These people are enlightened beings for sure.

Why do people bring kids in these cruel world? I don't like the fact that I am alive and I can not think of bringing another creature to ...

Answer (1 of 9): People are selfish, egostical and care more about their bloodline than the planet or the fact the kid is being exposed to 80-90 years of life and suffering because of their selfish ego. If it was about the kid they'd adopt. You're selfless for not forcing life on the unborn. Well...

Because people have different experiences and opinions. I personally don't find 'these people enlightened beings' in the same way others might.

Well they are enlightened in the sense that they believe that bringing kids into this world is not a good idea. That's a good thing. If more people felt like that there would be less people in the world. With less people in the world there would be fewer suffering.

And I suppose that's what I mean by having different opinions.

I believe continuing the human race (and all other life forms) is a positive.

I don't think a certain level of suffering is necessarily a bad thing. I'm not saying it's desirable, but I don't see it as inherently bad.

However when the suffering gets to the point that overwhelms (which is probably why many of us are here), then I believe help should be sought. What that help is depends on circumstances, but access to a peaceful death is certainly something I support.

Well each to their own, however, it is clear that the human race is a failed species overall. We have devastated this planet to the point of near destruction. At least have a convincing counter-argument if you are going to respond. Have a look at my previous post for more information on this matter, Sick World: https://sanctioned-suicide.net/threads/sick-world.100713/

I'm ok with my own opinion thanks. You asked a question, I gave some input. I don't feel the need to exercise my intellectual ability to satisfy your criteria of what is or isn't an acceptable response.

I wish you the best.

I thought it might be nice. Naivety and misplaced optimism. Plus I admit FOMO was a factor. I would have preferred to adopt as I'm not into pain (childbirth), am
not vain (no desire for a mini me) and there are many kids already in the world who would benefit from a home.
But they make it so hard to adopt - having to
prove stuff to social workers isn't my bag so I had one instead. Shouldn't have done it. I love my child but the world is fucked and it's hard work.

Because for many, the world isn't cruel. It can be a wonderful place, just not for everyone.

It feels good and for most people their biology weaponizes every cell in their body to prepare them for the reproductive act until reproduction actually happens. You can't expect everyone to have the strength or willpower to fight hundreds of millions of years of genetic programming. DNA is the true evil to blame.

This is super interesting bc I've always thought of this and haven't seen anyone else say it before as I guess it's quite a controversial take lol. But I just think we already have such an overpopulation issue and paired with the amount of adoption/foster kids I don't see why people would want their own kids? Idk

But I guess at the end of the day it's peoples decision and they can do whatever they want but I've never heard an argument against this view other than ppl saying "they just want their own blood" etc.. which I personally don't understand but each to their own

It's a feeling you can't figure it out unless you are deeply in love with someone.

People seem to forget that your life does not reflect that of others. Like, you have to remember that not everyone will live a good life like you. Some people will have horrible lives.

fulfilling a biological purpose. all justification of the act is tied into an instinct, which is considered normal. societal pressure is subservient to this aim

It wouldn't be so cruel if we had the freedom to leave once we were here. If Death with Dignity was available to me, I wouldn't feel like life is a prison anymore.

Only reason why people do it is because most don't realize how hard it is to protect their kids until it's too late. Best protection is to never have them or allow the people who don't like life to leave peacefully.

So that they can die in war for their supreme leader obviously.
