The Case Against Children For Children

If children were brought into the world by an act of pure reason alone would the human race continue to exist? Would not a man rather have so much sympathy with the coming generation as to spare it the burden of existence or at any rate not take it upon himself to impose that burden upon it in cold blood.

— Arthur Schopenhauer

The case against children for children

Having children is much like having a luxury car, a nice coat or a good pair of shoes — they take maintenance. They also need love and affection, which can be shown through spending time with them, not money on them.

This is not an argument against children because they're vile, puking poop machines. This is an argument against children because they are sentient living beings who need time, affection, and most of all, guidance.
