''If our lives are quite as bad (...), and if people were prone to see this true quality of their lives for what it is, they might be much more inclined to kill themselves, or at least not to produce more such lives.''

True. Coming from a third-world country, most people I know are very happy and satisfied with their lives; and good for them, but we live in literal hell. I hate it here.

''It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all''.

I HATE this way of thinking. IT FILLS ME WITH RAGE. No, it isn't better to have loved and lost. IT JUST ISN'T. The pain isn't worth it AT ALL. AT ALL. I would rather be alone for the rest of my life, thanks. Mind you, I have never lost anyone. I've never experienced grief. But I'm sure being alone is better than suffering after someone's death.

''The question to which we must now turn, then, is ‘When is never existing preferable?’ Put another way, ‘When does coming into existence harm?’ Alternatively, we can ask, ‘When is coming into existence bad while never coming into existence not bad?’ The answer, I shall now argue, is ‘Always’.''

Truer words have never been spoken.

''There is no net benefit to coming into existence and thus coming into existence is never worth its costs.'' Couldn't agree more.

Isabel ♡ I think this is also why some people from poor communities make the conscious decision to have kids, despite struggling financially, having toxic family dynamics, etc. They think that their lives are so #blessed and that their lovely God will provide for them and fix everything.

They see everything through rose-tinted glasses. They were born and raised in poor neighborhoods. That's normal to them. As long as they have a roof over their heads and some food, then all it's good and they can procreate as they please and raise their children in these horrible neighborhoods, enroll them in the worst schools in our city and give them a life as sad as theirs. But they consider themselves to be so blessed and lucky, omg I will have 4 children. GODBLESS.
