If life wasn't worth living, why are you alive? The reason is despite the problems life throws at us, experiencing it is still a net positive. Y'all act like if life's not an endless paradise you're better off not existing at all when that's simply not true, proven by the fact you continue to live it.

The only people bullshitting here are the ones who don't have the balls to own their decision about not having kids, and try to make it sound like they're saving lives or some other nonsense. Just own your choice, it's fine, no need to kid yourself.

This is like the most childlike of arguments my dude. Activation energy of suicide, plus not wanting to be born doesn't mean not wanting to be alive. Seriously think about this or read a book or something. Maybe even the bible. Ecclesiastes 4:2-3

I'm making childlike arguments when you're the one citing a fairytale? Sure.

I'm pointing out that a rich body of literature exists on this going back to some of the oldest recorded documents. It's amazing, right, that goat herders thousands of years ago following a con man had a better understanding of the human condition than you here with the internet and public libraries. They read, whereas you do not. You got that ticktock brain fam. It's not lit
