Exploring the philosophy and ramifications of antinatalism; that is, the belief that life should not be brought into existence.

Everything is Beautiful
Jesus loves the little children
All the little children of the world
Red and yellow, black and white
They are precious in His sight
Jesus loves the little children of the world
Let's cut to the chase. When we say yes to life, we say yes to this. All of these children were conceived out of selfishness, or just sheer neglect. This is how it ends for all of us, for every child. Is it better because some will lie down in velvet-lined caskets? Parents, here is the end of your 'achievement'. And to those of you who call antinatalism genocidal, fuck you. When you say yes to life, you say yes to this.
Why do I do this? Because I wish someone had spoken to me like this, once upon a time. I love my children. This is how my children will end. Because I know this, because I could have prevented this from falling upon their beloved heads, I am filled with remorse. I am filled with self-hatred. I am filled with the knowledge that I have committed the most unspeakable of acts.
It's too late for my children. It's too late for all of us. But it's not too late for all those still unborn. My plea? Let them be. Let them remain snuggled up in their warm blankets of negative bliss, undisturbed. No need to usher them into this world- we'll join them in theirs soon enough. Soon enough.

It´s like when we are living our lifes, people fill us with those non important trivial bullshit, which is okay at first, you know, but then it starts to fill up, and then we come to this blog and bam... there´s truth of life right in front of us, to teach us what´s important in life.
Seriously, I love this blog.
Because...

Mysterious ways and all that.
"Because I know this, because I could have prevented this from falling upon their beloved heads, I am filled with remorse. I am filled with self-hatred. I am filled with the knowledge that I have committed the most unspeakable of acts."
I wouldn't be so hard on yourself. When you had your kids, you weren't thinking like this. And I seriously doubt that your children hate you for bringing them into the world. I don't hate my folks, I really don't.
Someone should make a slideshow and have Louis Armstrong singing "What a Wonderful World".
Did Louis have a daughter named Pollyanna? ;)
Garrett:
Somebody actually did do a YouTube video of suffering with the Louis Armstrong song playing in the background. I found it a couple of years ago, though I don't have the link anymore.
At your service.
Dat's the one! Thanks, Plague Doctor.
Much obliged, Plague Doctor!
