      Honestly, this is why I started smoking. Didn't stop until I had kids. Don't smoke tobacco, kids. It's whacko.

        “The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation... A stereotyped but unconscious despair is concealed even under what are called the games and amusements of mankind. There is no play in them, for this comes after work. But it is a characteristic of wisdom not to do desperate things..”

        ― Henry David Thoreau

              This is why I'm adopting if I ever decide with my wife to be parents. Can't imagine the guilt of my DNA looking me in the eye and asking why "did you make me?"

                    It's a generational thing. Your dad's generation didn't talk about mental health, so there was no such thing as mental health. If you had serious depression, you were just weak and grumpy. All you could do about depression was soldier through it. Now we talk about it and it's more accepted. Now we actually try to tackle the problems of mental health instead of tucking it away.

                        Parents: I'm depressed. I know what will make this better, putting another person on this planet that has a great likelihood of being as depressed as I am!

                        The gift of life.

                              I don't think that's a joke or a punchline.

                                  That sounds romantc. If whoever said that was around today, they might see that the male loneliness epidemic is just a bunch of incel adjacents cowards crying about how society needs to sexually validate them.

                                    I know so many well meaning people who have said exactly this

                                    Until the pregnancy test. And then they’re like “Let’s fucking DO it! We’ll be parents!!”

                                          Loneliness != wanting sex.

                                          Although I do agree that the "male loneliness epidemic" is a bit of a manufactured narrative.
