Letters: Readers respond to an article about quitting the rat race, with some saying their generation was handed an untenable position and others saying the struggle is nothing new
This is exactly why I’m opposed to bringing kids into the world… I mean, have you looked at the world? It sucks. Why would I want to condemn another individual, whom I’m sure I will love wholeheartedly, to suffer through all of this for their entire life?
I didn’t have any say in being born and if I had even an impression of what I was in for, I probably would have said no thanks.
The only thing I’m thankful for from my parents is that they took care of me for so long. I’m not thankful that I’m alive and I’m not thankful for being born. That said, I’m also doing my damnedest to be a force for good in the world. I’m not making a significant impact, because I’m just one guy working a menial job, but I’m going my best. If I must continue to be alive, I might as well try to make everything suck a little less.
