I'll be long gone and I have no kids by choice. Hopefully the human race will be extinct and the planet can recover.

Can I side step and ask how you feel about 20 years then?

I just want to take care of my little corner of the world. Take care of me and mine, have enjoyable experiences, make memories and try to avoid being evil.

I can't do much about the big stuff (other than vote). It's going to get worse before it gets better (if it ever gets better) but no point worrying.

I like your attitude and feel quite the same. I hope you have a prosperous life!
