I've seen people die in car crashes with belts. Are we gonna stop wearing belts now? The chances of finding happiness through marriage and children are far higher than not. And besides, chasing happiness is one dumb way to live your life. Eudemonia, I get but happiness? How shallow and short sighted can you be?

major coping. Suffering is part of life. Giving your children a taste of suffering along with the guidance and tools to deal with it is your job. Not sheltering them from it. The world may be sick, it may be evil but it's also beautiful and fulfilling. Suffering and pain are part of the journey of life and that journey is a beautiful one. Your reasons all boil down to your last comment. " I am spared the constant worry ". At the end of the day you look at it from a selfish lens. You could never give them a quality life today? And how did people manage through history? Where circumstances of the world were far worse? You think material wealth is what gives a quality life? You think the easiness of ones life is what makes it a quality life? You think the lack of suffering and pain is what makes a life quality?

@geewhiz747 You know that you can change and remove negative traits of shallowness and selfishness from your character right? Just because someone is shallow and selfish now doesn't mean that they will be later. Having said that, promoting this delusion of not having children is gonna make these people worse humans. More shallow and more selfish and it will feed into their self righteousness. Besides children is usually the changing point of someone's character. Why? Because people for once have to give more care and attention to someone other than themselves.

over 50% of women are projected to not have children by 2030 in western countries. So yes that is the case. Rampant anxiety and depression medication. Unhappy and depressed old single and childless women are the best consumer base for big corpo. The West is falling and unless women understand where they are heading society, it will be inevitable. You see here in the West we have free will and it seems like radical movements to revert back to the better values within society are failing. So there is probably no way we can revive our societies. China on the other hand, can just force people to have kids. The same way they forced them to have abortions, they can do the opposite. It's not the same as us here in the West.

@mw6346 It's comical that you think that having children and raising them well means you probably die alone. It doesn't. In fact in most cultures around the world, the parents live with or around their children and grandchildren. America is definitely a sick society ready to die off and collapse but if you look around the world you'll see that most people with children die surrounded by children.

@mjohnson1741 the point is finding meaning, happiness a fleeting emotion. Eudemonia is a better concept. A feeling that your circumstances in life cannot alter. The point is trying to live up to the image of God and in that you'll find true happiness aka eudemonia. Chasing happiness will never make you fulfilled or truly happy.

@geewhiz747 The data were literally on the video. But you can also find data about the group that consumes most anti depressants and anxiety medication. Which is childless women over the age of 40.

seems like a hedonistic life that will lead to a miserable death

@hanalala3164 Heavily skewed statistic because of 18-30 year old women. 18-30 year old women are the "happiest" because they have the entire world in their hands. Guys chase them, pay for them, do everything for them.

@loosilu Not true. The disingenuous studies include women of the ages 18-30. Single childless women over 30 have the highest rates of antidepression and anxiety medication consumption as well as the lowest happiness rates.

@keeppushing_ that's the point, there will not be other things happening in the world without children

@georgeinjapan6583 it will reverse? If the trend isn't reversed in the next few decades their system will collapse. Unable to keep up the strained healthcare system from all the old people, unable to produce taxes to keep up the welfare programs, unable to continue producing as a society.

@keeppushing_ I will. I plan to have 5 children minimum and 10-12 maximum. But I can't really reverse the problem myself, only do my part and make people understand the importance of children. Also I've seen the abortion rates and it's disgusting. My problem in this particular segment is that people that don't want to have children say they are good without them. But in the two circumstances you gave, the parents are bad and broken people. So unless they are bad and broken people that will end up in these two circumstances, not having children is a pretty selfish and generally bad choice.

@missfaztudo9312 So women could be free if they could just not have s3x? Wow maybe you solved female oppression with that high IQ solution.

@Cub__ I only hope for the trad con and red pill movements to affect and influence society at large but statistically speaking, it probably won't. People are too egotistical to even do the best for God, let alone society.

@cal9112 False. Having a kid is condemning it to go through the journey of life. A journey which entails pain, and suffering but also happiness, joy, and euphoria. It's a beautiful journey that each of us can hash out. All deaths are not miserable. Painful? Perhaps, but not miserable. People who have found euphoria, people who have found their path with God, people who died an honorable death were not miserable and did not die miserable.

@gazagxrlx2974 then why do you have a picture of you in a party for your pfp?

@kerynl.sanchez9891 That's where the parents come in. Being a good parent and making you children understand the bad influences of society to not get washed by them. Or even better raising them in one of the many healthy countries around the world. Today you have every tool available to do so. Any time before, your kids could die in a war, in a pillaging, from starvation, from natural disasters, from diseases. Things that in most of the cases were out of the commoners' control. Now you as a commoner can fight all these plagues by simply having a healthy mind and a healthy outlook on life.

@theresebell1198 People who don't have kids because they are worried that they won't be good parents are the people that will be just fine. The bad parents are usually irresponsible people that wouldn't give it a second though. But here is a task. If more people were parents decades ago and less children needed foster care or had mental issues than now where there are far fewer parents, how does it correlate that "more people having children=more unfit parents" Also suffer? We all suffer, we are humans. Kids in foster care homes are unfortunate, but since I know a few they wouldn't give up their life.

@FuturuzedBrain931 Me me me me. That's all I heard in your comment. Living for yourself and your urges is a pointless hedonistic mindset which I can definitely understand why people can get sucked into it. But what is more fulfilling is exploring everything life has to give you and that includes children and a life long spouse. Duty, responsibility, faith to God, patriotism, community, family. These are the things that matter and that can actually show you the path to eudemonia.

@reginasemenenko148 Both my grandparents died with family alongside them. Same with the vast majority of my ancestors. Up until they died they were around family. My grandmas that have their spouses die before them will not die alone either. They will die alongside their children and their grandchildren. Not everyone dies alone. But everyone that is too afraid to have a family will definitely die alone.

@theformidabletruth if you don't think that a man and children are not a goal to your life then go ahead. That sick society that allowed that mindset to breed amongst their women will collapse and be overtaken nonetheless. But as KS one said "Buy a dog and die alone"

people don't know what they want to eat tomorrow and you think they'd know what decisions to make that will last for the rest of their lives? Your advice of "do what you want" is void because most people will be scared to do something like having children or marrying without guidance or advice to do it. And that's why we are seeing a societal collapse. You don't need to want to have kids in order to have them. People did it because they were prone to by their own instincts and in the end it proved one of the most fulfilling things they could do in life. Why is it that I've never seen parents say "if I could I wouldn't have my children". Never once have I seen any parents utter these words. Yet I've met countless of old people (mainly women) that heavily regret not having children. So yes have kids because everyone else is doing that. Have kids because that's what God wants you to do. Have kids to propagate our society. Have kids because your biology is pushing you to do it. But finding the meaning in having kids will definitely vary and will not be the same as most people.

What a twisted and evil society you live in to have that mindset. All the arguments to not have children were hedonistic selfish bs. You can follow God and make the strongest bonds and relationships aka family or you can continue living that meaningless hedonistic lifestyle.
