Yup,a quick search of "why you shouldn't bring kids in to this world" brings up things like this,and there are more.
Well, why were things different when I was child? They weren’t. It’s just that you were lucky enough to have parents/caregivers that allowed you to be ignorant. The greatest gift a child could have is the ability to maintain their innocence in a screwed up world and the older people in your life might have given you appropriate warnings, but allowed you to keep your innocence.
It’s like watching TV now and thinking: “Wow, there sure are a lot of condom ads on now-a-days.” Those commercials were always there, but since it didn’t concern you as child, you always ignored them. That’s how knowledge goes. As you get older, you’re less likely to stay ignorant about the crazy things that happen in the world, so it’s as if there’s this barrage of horrible people just now roaming the streets, when in actuality, they were always there. They probably even complimented you on your shoelaces once.
Now, this isn’t a call for you to procreate. Only have children when you are ready to do so, and if your current knowledge of horrible people is scaring you from making that big step, then that’s cool. But also make sure that you let the people who raised you know how amazing they are from shielding you from such horrendous acts, and the possible dangers that you faced each day that you went to school, rode your bike in the neighborhood, and walked to the store.
Great parents are the ones that can let you enjoy your childhood, without fear of stepping outside of your house. It is an incredibly hard job, and most parents deserve Screen Actors Guild awards for silently panicking and watching you from the front porch while you walk down the block to go visit your friend, and not have you any wiser to the terror that is running through their minds of “what could” happen.
So, just keep this in mind if/when you do have children. Yes, times are dangerous now, but they always were, and if you’ve been able to survive it, there’s a good chance that your kids can too. Just allow them that same bit of “luckiness” that your parents gave you, so that when they reach your age and is like: “Why is the world is horrible now?!” You can realize that you were effective in your job.
