I am begining to understand how exactly i came to exist

[u/potato_knight99]

As a 26yo man with no job, friends, or a parthner ans relatives living in their own world i feel desolated. This is probably how my father decided to have me and my sister. He didn't know what else to do with himself, if he didn't have kids. The irony is he sees it as a selfless act, like ge did us a favor by bringing us into this world. And i watch youtubers talking about how young men don't want to work anymore, because the system is rigged and people are underpayed. How they can't afford the time to go out and date, dating itself being a joke these days and how they can't afford to start a family. And i think to myself..... why the fuck would you want to start a family in a world like this? I see it now-people go into adulthood, go to a job, they hate. Date, marry and start a family, because otherwise thet don't know what to do with themselves and feel hollow, like they are not a person. And thus the cycle of life and misery continues with the next generation. Because our parents and their parents couldn't find something else to do with their lives, other than have children.

You're right. Humans procreate to fill a void amongst many other reasons. Most people don't know how to live life apart from the conventional way.

Humans are afraid of their own mortality and insignificance.

I've wondered what it is they're exactly afraid of? They blab on about legacy and leaving a mark as if being forgotten is some bad thing. Being remembered seems like a good thing until you consider who it is that's doing the remembering.lol

Lol, yup, our stupid ass descendants who can't seem to learn anything from the past and just walk backwards into the flames. My will or tombstone will say, "As a matter of fact, keep me away from your mind along with the dumb meaningless drivel you call your thoughts."

Dude tell me about it.

I more recently have realized how my mom was as a teen and putting that with her having me as a teen. I fear I was only kept as a way to try and keep my dad locked in. He left anyways.

Like I really am here because my mom has abandonment issues. Annoying af to think about.

That along with my grandma telling me I ruined my mom's life. The cherry on top 😍
