It’s a shame , because although we want to spare our children the pain of life, we also deprive them of the joys it offers too. Maybe your child will be the one who finds the cure for cancer ! Maybe your child will help save this world some suffering. Maybe the human race should just die off. It’s a natural instinct to procreate. Why ? So some masochistic god can just watch our suffering ? Who knows. To make a new life though, is an awesome thing.
I remember what I used to say to my mom when we had these rather philosophical discussions about life. I said ,rather angrily, “ you know , I didn’t ask to be born “ ! And she replied : “ Well , who ever did “ ?
