@dusunsel "i want to say that i share Meister Present Moment's thought of not bringing a children to this messed up world."
This is exactly how I feel. I think about life and the world all day every day in one way or another and I had so much anxiety at one point and realized it was because I was afraid that when I had a child, the seeds of irreversible destruction already planted would be the fruit that it would inherit. I decided that with the trajectory our species is on, it would be immoral for me to bring a life into earths near future. After making that life decision I felt a huge weight lift off of me. Not all the weight because I care deeply for the plight of those who are here already and friends who will have children, but knowing that no matter how horrible things become it will end with my last breath and no human life bearing my genes will be subjected to our societies disgusting irresponsibility as stewards of the earth. As an aside, I will also be avoiding birthing another American whose global footprint is a pox on the world no matter how hard they try to mitigate it.
