I have mixed feelings. I think the grand majority of the time, especially in recent years, humans have done no favors procreating. Everything from having children in known miserable places, to just the general life of the modern world, it makes me feel like people have children as some sort of show off trophy.
That isn't to say i don't see potential of beauty and an enjoyable existence in this world. I think we are meant to value this place while we are here. However, the modern world has created such pointlessness and misery, it is unsatisfying to the grand majority and our instincts. Many go through life and just trudge through it, though they suffer to one extent or another. A select few live a pampered existence, and get the most out of this place. Others just suffer period, and some still make it, some dont. Couple that with how it shapes most of the masses, it more often than not results in a life of torment and misery, and the only ones seem to care after a person passes and pretend they would have done so much, but did very little or nothing while they were present - and very likely added to their misery.
I think it's more of a mindset with this species. We lie to ourselves about how we conduct ourselves and pretend everything is all good, and don't focus on values that really caters to our well-being, resulting in misery.
If our focus is lost on the satisfaction and well-being of humans and the planet itself, what is really the point of what we're doing? We are creatures of habit, and don't want to quit, even when we know something we're doing is bad. It relies less on not making us not have stress on our survival instincts, but more of how much they can tolerate.
