it took me too long to realize it, but the reason YOU (not me ) should breed, is to honor those who survived to make YOU POSSIBLE. Trace backwards and think about each little great grandma and grampa - what they had to go thru, to make sure YOU got to THIS moment. Don't think about just mom and dad. I didn't know my grandparents except for one grandfather who I rarely saw and had little understanding of until I was in my mid-20's. And being first generation italian-american, the old country was just some weird magical place that I also didn't comprehend. so - a nihilist? nobody is going to pay you to do nothing, to do negative, to foster entropy. Maybe to reclaim, reuse, recycle. I saw a thing on tv here yesterday where a company is tearing down houses in Detroit, piece by piece, and selling the wood and metal to companies who then make art or furniture out of it.
