Why have children?
It seems that, in this world, every living creature suffers at some point in time.
Knowing this, why would anyone ever choose to have children? You know they will suffer, eventually, on earth. If nothing else, they will eventually grow old, frail, and die. And they will live their life with this knowledge.
They will be raised to compete economically, or be homeless. They will spend most their life working, at a job they don't like: over 60% of Americans do not like their job. Wars will rage on. Crime. They will experience pain & suffering.
Why, then, would you knowingly put beings into this situation?
Even if you are a "religous family," isn't there a chance your child will choose wrong and go to the bad place?
I am not trying to be sarcastic...I am just truly wondering what everyone thinks of this. How can you bring children into this world, with a clear conscience?
