harriehqMAKE IT MAKE FUCKING SENSE
I, who know perfectly well I am not capable of caring for children, choose not to have children. "Passing on" my mental illness / disorders (like autism) isn't even a consideration - if I could care for a child, I would care for them, NO MATTER WHAT - but I do not have the stamina or energy or emotional resources or capacity or any other fucking thing in sufficient amounts to raise even the most normal, "easy" child - SO I DO NOT HAVE CHILDREN.
AND SOMEHOW THAT'S A "BAD" THING.
But over here, you have severely mentally ill people AND/OR severely cruel and vicious and dangerous people who have caused SO MUCH HARM to other adults in their lives - never mind children - who are SO FUCKING DESPERATE to pass on their genetic material that they are undergoing FERTILITY TREATMENTS. And successfully getting pregnant.
And THAT is somehow a "good thing."
I could just vomit fire.

WIST QuotationsA quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson
An unconscious, easy, selfish person shocks less, and is more easily loved, than one who is laboriously and egotistically unselfish. There is at least no fuss about the first; but the other parades his sacrifices, and so sells his favours too dear.Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
Essay (1880-01/02?), “Reflections and Remarks on Human Life,” § 5 “Selfishness and Egoism”

E-Town-DudeHuman beings are so ignorant and selfish. I would not be surprised if AI or aliens wiped us off the face of the earth one day.
Example: Why do people reserve deckchairs when they don't use them because they are in the pool for an hour. I jut want to lie down for a few minutes.
I need to abide more. ....

🧐The myriad problems discussed herein wrt #Singapore folks managing their #private #properties cld be boiled down to 1 underlying cause, if one cld be brutally honest, & tt's #selfishness driven by a lack of social cohesion (or worse, #social #responsibility). Why? It needs more attention fr sociologists.👇

Aubrey Taylor, Editoran autistic perspective of death…(remastered with audio reading)
We've all experienced loss, and many know someone who is Neurodivergent or Autistic. Ever wonder why it takes longer for someone on the Spectrum to recover from loss, especially death? Here's some insight into those unseen struggles.
They say to me: Eat and drink! Be glad you have it!
But how can I eat and drink if
I snatch what I eat from the starving, and
My glass of water belongs to one dying of thirst?
And yet I eat and drink.
[Man sagt mir: Iß und trink du! Sei froh, daß du hast!
Aber wie kann ich essen und trinken, wenn
Ich dem Hungernden entreiße, was ich esse, und
Mein Glas Wasser einem Verdursteten fehlt?
Und doch esse und trinke ich.]
