I do not give an "expertise" on having kids, but a personal observation to Boowlingreen, why it's less tyrannical in not having ones. Happiness during life doesn't last. It's an ephemeral state. That's not because you personnaly are a lucky happy guy (and on a long period of time, a state in which I doubt), that your kids will be happy ones. Quote:
That's has nothing to do with left or right. That's a politically neutral observation. A lot of fascists (ultra right people) are totally unhappy and daily point fears on immigration, insecurity, homosexuality or cultural decadence. When they speak about this, that's quite evident they are preoccupied. Quote:

Do not waste your time to fight those people. Try to develop a spiritual life. Try to find your own balance. There are several ways to reach it. Sometimes to speak with old wise people, who will help you to reach a plain life faster than if you have to do it by yourself. That doesn't mean that you have to blindly follow them. Be always critical. Their life is not yours. Watch at several philosophies and take the best parts of them that could help you to be "happier" during the rest of your life. When one day a "lost" or "rebel" young or adult person will ask you questions. Communicate your life experiences with him. Edit: Sport, litterature, art, gardening, meditation are good occupations to escape life problems. Quote:
There are communities that are interested to collaborate with anti-capitalist people. Thanks to internet, you maybe must find one near your area. |

Shunning and enforcement reign in the name of progress. And that eternal question whether this system is natural... Look through every eerie form of wildlife, still can't find anything resembling Civilization and its omnipresent Progressivism and refusal of average. |

Why I am
What's hard is living like people did many many many years ago, No power, minimal transport, distant communication took weeks, not even starting on health and medicine and on and on .... Yet people can get on here, from half way around the world and tell me in an instant, well light speed that they live in a society where they can't be happy whereas their own ancestors may have had relatives living not more than 100 miles away and may not have known of a family members death for weeks We live in a society where things are easy, how easy one makes them is up to the individual, sorry but I don't like the idea that things should be made easy or have things handed to them regardless or their wealth, be it rich or poor.

But you are somebody, you are higher than average. You have the essential skills for modern civilization while many others do not.

The thing we have today, and have been using for last 500 years (some may call it Capitalism, I prefer Progressivism, people had progress many years ago too), is remarkably strange for claiming the low average does not exist and all people can adapt to anything (basically justify anything with the mantra - adapt, change, excel). The border between right and wrong almost disappears since, indeed, both can serve progress. The average, on the other hand - people who cannot do progress - are in a very unfortunate situation. |

That's who I look up too, someone unfortunate and did something to improve herself and many others ....... Theories, Professors, Social Chat have nothing on her experience.
