Antinatalism

[quote]The notion that it would have been better never to exist is among those which meet with the most opposition. Every man, incapable of seeing himself except from inside, regards himself as necessary, even indispensable, every man feels and perceives himself as an absolute reality, as a whole, as the whole. The moment we identify ourselves entirely with our being, we react like God, we are God.
It is only when we live at once within and on the margins of ourselves that we can conceive, quite calmly, that it would have been preferable that the accident we are should never have occurred. [/quote]

[quote]We celebrate life and mourn death. Yet life create death, and death create life. Every cradle is a grave. Why not celebrate death and mourn life?[/quote]

As an “anti-natalist,” I believe that life is so bad, so painful, that human beings should stop having children for reasons of compassion. Not only is life painful but by living it the way we humans do as societies we are destroying our planet, the habitat we share with all other animals.
Wouldn't the world be a more beautiful place without sentient life?

What will be will be. Que sera sera.
We are an incident of creation. We just happened. We did not decide to happen. Make the most of it. Joy would mean nothing without sadness. All senses are comparative.
And the world existed in more fiery times of volcanoes and meteors. It existed in colder times of Ice ages. It was much greener and lost it much before humans existed. It was much toxic but became more livable much before humans existed.

Just enjoy. We are nobody in this vast universe. 😃
