To birth or not to birth? A moral dilemma.

Greta Thunberg. Be like her. Or if you can’t, please throw your support behind her.

I always question why people keep making babies and more babies. My six sisters are the targets of my questions and also to poke fun at. I call them human rabbits. I have always been an opponent to their love to manufacture babies because:-

1. I am afraid that they don’t have the financial means to send their children to college and end up like them – never been to college.

2. I don’t want to be uncle more than 40 times. I have been 35 times uncle already.😂

3. Kids are noisy and annoying. I kid you not.🙄

4. There are already 7.5 billion human beings on earth. While earth can only sustain 4.5 billion (ideally), it’s an over-crowded place.

Their responses to my objections are:-

4.1. Children are God’s gifts. We can’t refuse them. Well, I guess it’s not polite to decline gifts handed over to us by God themself, is it? 🤗

4.2. Who’s going to take care of us when we get old if we have no children of our own? Yep. Children are our future – as caretakers.😉

4.3. Because we have husbands. Eye-rolling & lmao.😁😁

4.4. Children are sustenance or good fortune. Mind-boggling. For me they are the opposite of good fortune. They suck you dry. Not to mention annoying. 🤔

With 7.5 billion people on this planet and they constantly are adding to the number, it means nothing to them. For me it means:-

1. 7.5 billion stomaches to fill every few hours
2. 7.5 billion bodies to clothe
3. 7.5 billion humans to house & shelter
4. 7.5 billion people in need of education, medication, transportation & travelling around & about
5. 7.5 billion with all their needs and wants.

After ticking the boxes above, the direct impacts are:-

1. Loss of habitat, destruction of ecosystem & biodiversity from deforestation (at the rate 18 million acres per year) & pollution.

2. Followed by extinction of flora & fauna. We are losing between 10,000 to 100,000 species (that feed & heal humans) per year.

3. Global warming/climate change that causes more damage to the planet & its population. I’m talking about climate change, not weather change as what Donald Trump is talking about. This guy is a nut case. Bolsonaro as well.

4. With global warming comes disasters either natural or man-made. The like of Wilma, Katrina & Maria are getting superpowerful year by year.

5. Wars & conflicts between humans. Just turn your tv or news feed on. It’s mostly about wars & conflicts.

With all the negative impacts from 7.5 billion people, my question is, are we still going to add more humans on the already over-populated planet? We all have our own reasons (like my sisters’) or not at all, to have children. Like it or not, everybody contributes to the negative impacts listed above. Only that the magnitude of impact varies from one person to another.

Ex President of Uruguay, Jose Mujica, my hero.

All parents want and hope their kids will grow up to be somebody. If they turn out to be like nature warriors, I can’t be happier. Hat’s off to you as parents. Love and my full support to you Greta. Hat’s off to Mr. & Mrs. Thunberg. Or if they grow up to be heads of state like the former President of Uruguay, Jose Mujica, I will raise my fist in agreement. Or even if you don’t raise a somebody but they turn out to be a good kid, I still like you.

Don’t be like this man. Please do not support him.

But, if you give birth and raise a glutton for meat and dairy products, then I loath you. Your kids can cause so much damage to the ecosystem and contribute to climate change. The fact is beef and dairy industry is the main cause to global warming.

Also, what if you give birth a “Me me me, I want want want more” twat?

What if you give birth to a would-be bratty entitled dicks? Or kids like me – preaching much on climate change but still being an accessory to global warming? I still eat meat once in a while. I still drive petrol-powered car. I still buy things that I don’t need. Oh well….

The biggest cause to global warming. No, it’s not their fault. It’s our fault for loving their meat, their milk, cheese & butter.
