People had children in way worse situations than this. Children and their patents used to suffer and die all the time. Yet they are the expression of hope and confidence in our species. And while I agree that it’s not looking great for us, I refuse to give up, roll on my back and wait to go extinct in an aging, dying world.

I love my kids so much that it’s changed my whole life. They have given value to my life that didn’t exist before, they made me grow and it’s an incredible experience to watch them grow. They made me happy, worried, scared, bored, proud and angry like nothing else ever did.
I often envy my brother, who has all the money and time in the world to do whatever he wants, but I secretly pity him as well, because he lives like a grown-up, self-centerd child without true responsibilities and all his toys and holidays feel meaningless to me.
I couldn’t recommend this to anyone but it is a true magic happens outside the comfort zone-experience that will never go away.
