Humans can go to any insane extent to:

1. Overcome a heartbreak, and insulate oneself from another.
2. Find 'true' love and completely possess it, until it chokes out.
3. Fight boredom.

Five most-common examples:

1. Owning a pet.
2. Devoting oneself to a religion.
3. Getting addicted to a drug.
4. Getting married.
5. Producing a baby.

Is birth a conspiracy worth celebration?
Or, an accident beyond easy correction?

Born for the cause of family, property, community, nation?
Or, a clueless outcome of a failed contraception?

T'was when you cried your first, but surely not the last.
Neither got to pick mumma, dada, race, sex, nor caste.

Birth bought legitimacy to an unlikely union?
Or, brought mass-lunacy to its logical conclusion?

Was it the hand of God or the bodies of mortal wanderers?
An intent most noble or a chicanery genuinely monstrous?

Where were the masters- outside or somewhere deep within?
Those they've taught to worship or have damned as sin?

Then-is birth a conspiracy worth celebration?
Or, an accident beyond easy correction?

A mother, for the sake of her baby,
can go miles against,
and at the cost of- everyone else-
her partner, parents, other kids,
the society, ethics, and rationality!
Not always, though!

Therefore, I wonder- whether
that makes her the most altruistic, or-
the most selfish among creatures...?

Mom- the holiest angel of God!
Or, a genetically indoctrinated
dealer of the devil...?

The bigger the brain of a species,
the dangerous it is to give birth.

So, if you have a big brain (relatively), it's okay or even awesome to have smaller and lesser effective sexual organs!

If you're another animal with a smaller brain, it may not be your individual fault to be trapped in the cycles of purposeless procreation.

But now, with a brain this capable of realising evolutionary mistakes, no excuse please...!

An argument proving life contains more sufferings than pleasure...

Experiences can be divided into two broad categories-
A. Action- When beings 'do' something...
B. Idleness- When we just chill...
Let's consider B to be a neutral zone, involving zero net pleasure (or pain), and ignore it for a while.

Analysing A (action), with its various stages- survival, desiring, envying, planning, cooperating (for competing), anticipating, succeeding, celebrating, sulking, regretting, etc, and repeating, we'll conclude that the net pleasure is mostly in negative.

It's especially true in systems where resources or desirable outcomes are limited, which applies to most life actions. Means-a few powerful win at the cost of many others. Even the winners pay huge costs, often enduring (and inflicting) massive sufferings.

The cost of survival is always magnified and delegated to the lesser powerful- humans, other animals, etc...

Buddha was right- life's full of sufferrings- in quantity and quality!
We don't realize it because we've genetically evolved and been culturally indoctrinated to believe the opposite!

The most heinous of crimes mostly
carry the most 'innocent' of motives.

Motives like for food, land, family, community, self-respect, pleasure, all linked to ego and survival.

These blur the boundary between 'need' and 'greed'.

One may justify an act in the name of 'need' for survival, but what if- birth, survival, reproduction are not needs, rather purposeless wants?

Life's never innocent-it stands on competition and exploitation (of the many for the few).

Just wish that life was erected on nobler grounds...

Who appear first- parents or children?

Chronologically- Maybe parents...

But, Teleologically- Children!

It's the genetic and soceital vision of a child that creates families, to sustain which we invent villages, nations, armies, currencies, gods, wars, laws, norms, making all institutionalised nuisances possible.

Individual children may be noble and innocent, life and procreation are not!

We often LOVE our CHILDREN enough
to let them go on their own.

-But, can we love them enough
to never bring them into EXISTENCE?-

Have we, any religion, or any science,
solved the PAINFUL mysteries of existence yet?

Then how can we JUSTIFY pushing them into a world that's getting more dangerous and competitive every other moment?

How long do we uncritically glorify 'LIFE', and justify BREEDING 'useful' progenies, whether human or otherwise?

How long do I allow my body to serve unholy INSTINCTS?


Give it a thought...

When we look at the world from Chandni Chowk, from Manhattan, or from Cattle Island, it appears flat.

It's only when we begin to transcend its gravitational confines and ascend that it reveals its more actual shape.

Life, similarly, has the most seductive effect on senses, preventing reason from ever taking full control.
It's simply a case of chronic and contagious myopia.

It appears meaningful, noble, beautiful, purposeful, and romantically worth putting a fight for.

It takes a while to realise that we actually exist just to convey its meaning(-lesness), to generation-next.

We never created life, life created us, and makes us do so.
We invented Gods to hide that discomforting reality.
We don't relinquish life, life renounces us.
We've attempted our best shot at immortality.

Feeling oppressed? Wanna revolt? -Start thinking.
Nothing is more revolting to tyrannical life than thinking is.
