tl;dr
The world is mostly poor that creates all kind of problems from hunger to crime to child labor to unsafe housing
Most human relationships are a complete disaster has most breakdown
Most pregnancy are unplanned for and most parents can't afford to meet there basic needs safe housing, clothes, food, and education
Humanity is a fucking disgrace when bring anyone alive and you can't even look after yourself
The modern world, despite its technological advancements and wealth accumulation, remains fundamentally broken for the majority of its population. At the heart of this crisis lies a profound and pervasive poverty—material, emotional, and moral—that manifests in the form of hunger, crime, child labor, unsafe housing, and widespread human suffering. These issues are not marginal. They are systemic, global, and deeply rooted in the failure of human institutions to protect and uplift their most vulnerable. The result is a world where human dignity is too often denied and where even the most basic of needs go unmet for billions.
Poverty is not merely an economic condition—it is the foundation upon which many of the world's worst problems are built. When people are denied access to adequate food, clean water, healthcare, and shelter, their lives become a daily struggle for survival. In such conditions, crime is not a moral failing but a form of desperation. Child labor becomes a necessity rather than a choice. Families are forced to live in unsafe environments, and education—often touted as a pathway out of poverty—is either inaccessible or irrelevant to the immediate demands of survival. This is not a failure of individuals; it is a failure of societies.
Layered on top of these material hardships is the collapse of human relationships. The modern world is marked by a breakdown in emotional and social bonds. Divorce rates are high, domestic violence is rampant, and many children grow up in unstable, neglectful, or abusive homes. Loneliness and mental health disorders are on the rise, even in wealthier nations. In many cases, relationships are formed out of necessity, fear, or dysfunction rather than love, stability, or mutual support. The result is a generational cycle of trauma and emotional damage that becomes harder to break over time.
Perhaps one of the most ethically troubling aspects of this global dysfunction is the fact that most pregnancies are unplanned and many children are born into circumstances of poverty and neglect. Far too often, people become parents without the financial, emotional, or psychological readiness to take on the responsibility of raising a human being. The consequences are profound: children grow up without proper nutrition, without a safe place to live, without access to education, and without the emotional support that every child needs to thrive. These children are not just disadvantaged—they are betrayed by a world that claims to value life while doing so little to protect it.
In such a world, one must ask: is it ethical to bring new life into existence when one cannot even care for oneself? This question is not merely philosophical—it is a moral indictment of the current state of humanity. When societies glorify parenthood yet provide no support for struggling families, when governments prioritize war and wealth over welfare, when human beings create life without the means or intention to nurture it—what does that say about us?
To be clear, this is not an argument against parenthood or humanity itself. It is a cry for accountability, compassion, and change. It is a demand that we stop romanticizing life without questioning the quality of that life. Children deserve more than survival. They deserve safety, love, stability, education, and the freedom to grow into whole, empowered individuals. And until humanity can collectively offer that, we must question our motives for creating more life while failing to care for the life that already exists.
The world may indeed be a disgrace in many ways. But recognizing that fact is not a sign of cynicism—it is a prerequisite for change. Only by facing the depth of our dysfunction can we begin to imagine a different, more humane future. That future will not come easily, and it may not come soon. But it must begin with honesty. It must begin with the refusal to turn away from suffering, and the courage to ask, "What are we really doing—and why?"
