    Hate that doomer crap. People find happiness in far worse situations, and the future needs people who give a shit. You’re not morally superior for not having kids and you’re a coward for judging others who do, so scared of some hardship that you prefer annihilation.

      I give a shit, I do what I can to not make things worse and improve where I can. I don’t think I’m morally superior in any way, shape or form - quite the opposite; there are many greater, smarter people out there who could do a much better job at improving the future than I can hope to. I have many, many reasons for not having children - this is just one. Yes, I’m a coward. No, I don’t judge others for having children - everyone has a choice, and I’ve made mine. No, I don’t hope for annihilation - I hope that somehow, this freight train with no brakes manages to make a turn without derailing, and that the future is glorious and beautiful and healthy. While I may be a sad, pathetic little creature, I do like seeing the kids of friends and family grow and thrive, I just worry what is in store for them and their children.
