life is nothing more than a cycle of working your ass off all day so that you can make enough money to feed yourself so that you can then wake up the next day to repeat the same thing. Again, and again, and again, until you die.
I hate being enslaved inside a death trap not knowing when your time to die will come or when your health will take a turn for the worst
A child never gives its consent to be dragged kicking and screaming into this reality, and forcing it to is unconscionable
The only certainty in life is death, The most terrifying thing to a human is death. By bringing a child into the world, you force another being into a form of existential bondage where it is perpetually frightened of and certain of its own impending death. It's completely unjustifiable.
Nobody truly cares about you, not your family, not your romantic interest nobody
There becomes a point in life where you realize that people don't really care about you one way or another and the only person there to save you is - yourself.
Literally nothing that any of us will ever do in our lives will have any effect on the universe whatsoever.
Our presence in this place is so miniscule that it's nearly totally nonexistent when compared to the vastness of everything else out there.
If every single human being died right now it wouldn't make a shred of difference. None of us are important to the bigger picture in any way. We are all totally disposable.
Yet people trot around like they're the best thing since sliced bread. Like they have all the right answers. Like they're making a difference.
Think about it. No matter what you do, how rich you are, how nice you are, how giving you are, etc.. It means absolutely nothing outside of this shitty little thing we call humanity.
We're almost constantly suffering or experiencing some inconvenience. Briefly we experience happiness, mirth and other pleasant emotions by satisfying physiological and psychological needs rooted in our biology. And we don't usually stay that way for long. Otherwise, we're prone to experiencing states such as hunger, depression, envy, and pain when these needs cannot be adequately fulfilled. We're constantly trying to meet our desires, and very often we can't because of our surrounding circumstances. We've come into a cold, unfeeling universe by chance - not of our own volition - and we're all destined to suffer to some extent. Some more than others.
Life isn't a gift. You don't force gifts onto people. Especially not gifts which can potentially cause great degrees of suffering. Instead of creating sentient beings which require extremely specific needs to be met in order to momentarily avoid suffering, we should aim to prevent as much suffering as possible for those unfortunate enough to be born into this world.
