Question of the Day - Sunday, October 6th, 2024

Today's question is from @Sally PB:

What do you think was the best day of your life so far?

I'm gonna go with the day I got RJ back. He was a pony that I sold in the 80s. I kept track of him through the years, then that last time I called to see how he was doing they said they needed to find him a home, so I got him back.

My wedding day and the day my son was born

The birth of my two kids.

What I am going to say now will probably not set well with a lot, but it is the truth. I would not do it again if I had the do it over. That is not because I don't want my kids. They are the best thing that has ever been in my life and I cannot even begin to express the love I have for them. It is a whole new level of love. And, that is why I would probably not do it again. As much as I love living, the world is a horrible place when it comes right down to it. Having kids is a selfish act we do, we just don't realize it at the time.

A lot more than was ask for, but I feel strongly about that. Sorry. And, no, I would never let my kids know I feel that way.

I understand what you are saying, I just look at it different. I had a child to make the world a better place because he's in it. And not just my world, the world as a whole

My perspective on the matter is that while there is much messed up going on, there always was and there will be until the end of the age. If you look back, there were some extremely dark times in history, but humanity has pulled through, and while there is hardship in the world there is also a lot of joy to be had as well. I myself do not have nor want kids, but that's just because I don't like kids tbh. If you want kids, don't let the state of the world discourage you. Maybe they won't have it easy, but they can still make a difference in the lives of others and find joy

I probably should have stated that differently. It is not just how bad the world is with everything that goes on, but also all they will have to go through. Watching people you love suffer and die and eventually having to go through it yourself. Or, it could be even worse, and get maimed or whatever. Just the fact that they will have to go through me leaving them is enough. I know what that feels like and to know they have to go through so much, and I will not be able to protect them from it. That I will have to leave them alone here to fend for themselves is not a thought I like to think about. I take care of all the bad things that come their way now. Of course, there could eventually be something that I can't take care of even while I am here.

And, I didn’t mean to start a thread hijacking lol

Rather than protect them from everything, it is better to give them the tools and guidance needed so they can handle what life throws at them. Yes, life has its share of heartache, but we grieve, we heal and we move on. No, we don't forget those we have lost, but the sun does shine again

Yes, I definitely give them the tools. Just like my Dad gave to me to the best of his ability. It doesn’t change the facts of what life is and where it ends up.

You stated you don’t have kids, so you probably won’t understand. I say that with all due respect.

I really need to stop. This was just a harmless question of the day.
I will say no more.
