Children are not tools, children are not pets, children are not assets, children are not properties, children are the extension of one's life.
One's child is not just a photocopy of the parents but the continuation of their lives. For instance, if the parents cease to be for any reason, their bloodline will continue to live because of that child. In other words, they are still alive.
Having children is one of the best things that can happen to anyone in their lifetime. It is the greatest blessing anyone can ever have.
No wonder people can do anything to give their children the best life. Just like we are the representatives of our maker on earth, our children are our representatives; even if hope is not on our side anymore, with children one still has hope.
As crucial as it is to have children, some people can decide not to have them for reasons best known to them, and it's completely fine. Although some may wish to have but wouldn't, and that doesn't mean they are cursed or disadvantaged; it's just life.
Talking about whether to have children or not, due to how bad the world is becoming, the truth is having children is a choice, and people do that considering different things unique to them.
Of course, the world is becoming worse every time, but the solution to it is not to stop bringing children into the world. I know we may not desire to have our children experience the wickedness in the world, but how does not having them solve the problem?
Children are like angels; sometimes our deliverance and miracles lie in their hands. I am not a prophet, but I can tell you that the better world we are fighting for will come to reality someday through our children.
The hope we keep saying is available when things get difficult is not always in our hands but that of our children as well.
One can labor for years trying to build something and not see the returns, but later, his children would come and take it to completion and bring that dream to reality.
I know some children can also be a problem, but by default that is not how it is supposed to be.
If people stop giving birth because they are scared of how evil the world is, eventually, we will die and leave this world, and our kind will go extinct.
This implies that the hope for humanity is gone; the good we have been anticipating will never come, and that is the end for everything.
Instead of running away from giving birth, I think we should focus on trying to make the world a better place.
We made it the way it is, we can as well make it better for our children and while we are trying to make the world a better place, we can make our children fit for that better world by grooming them with excellence, integrity, morality honesty, love and so on so that the world they will find themselves in after we are gone will be will be just what we wanted.
