And I will explore this topic with my intelligent friend, Nnamdi. Inspite of his depth, he will think am going crazy. Maybe he his right! But I think am just a realist that thinks a little.
I am obliged to share this thought publicly because some parents are at best very annoying. They are not appreciative enough to nurture and cherish their children. They live in the illusion that that their children owe them their lives simply because they gave birth to them.
It is a fact that the intention behind every child bearing is selfish. It is always for any or combination of this purpose: to own a soulful biological identity, to have souls to answer to ones call, to have soul to take care of someone at old age, to meet a societal expectations. Yes, those are the purpose! You will realise it is more selfish when you probe deep to know that all birth are not consented by the child. The willingness and the sweet mating that leads to birth are all privileges of the parents. A child is only a victim of successful sex. Lolx!
Albeit, been the victim wouldn’t have mattered had live been worth some salt but look at it this way, this world is wicked, very wicked! Happiness is relative. Wealth is not absolute. Adversaries is common. Religion is confusing. Life is worth nothing. Either rich or poor, adversaries is certain. Just when you think being Christian or Muslim or Eckankar takes to paradise, you realise is only God’s grace that it takes. Then you ask, how is grace merited? Religion apologist tells you GRACE is UNMERITED FAVOUR. Then, who are those that will receive that unmerited favour and what are the set of values required? Religionist will tell you tales of two prophet in which one was slaying about and the other was committed yet the slaying one received the GRACE...
To put succinct, human existence is a forced creation. It is a kind of situation anyone would avoid should liberty to choose existence be a prerogative of man. I mean why you want to come here, when the only certain thing you are coming to do is death! Every other thing in life only happen by chance – the only thing that will certainly happen to all mankind is death. Yet in the rat race to death, several disheartening and adversaries brakes one heart. Am below 30 years, have lost friend to a ghastly accident. I have lost people I love in neighbours to ailment. I have seen shattered dreams due to poverty. I have seen greed kill our collective innocence and create depressing societal inequality. I have observed a lot that many times I wish I never ever exist…
Let us look at it this way: A child gets born, she grow from age of absolute ignorance to age of juvenile consciousness when she begins school. As she grows in consciousness, so her troubles grow. She begin to have timeframe, a time she must wake up, eat, bath and catch up with school – the same school that will frustrate her with immaterial jargons till she grows to more than half of her total years on earth. She gets indoctrinated by parent into a particular religion and she joins in the fray of religious calamity, a set of practises whose essence has been lost… She start having friends that she loves – friends whose life she has no power to protect from sudden death or demeaning ailment. She gets involve with a lot more of life activities – activities that has the potentiality of making her a victim. She get expose to a lot more of life vicissitude as she has no control over the life of people around her – parent may die and she will be left in her meekness to swim the turbulent water. She becomes ambitious of what she want of life – the ambition that everyone nurses but few achieves because life in itself is model for inequality. She keeps pursuing this uncertain ambition until she completes her life cycle and the certain thing knocks life out of her. What a needless sojourn!
From the foregoing, it suffices to say that bringing any soul to this world is damn selfish. I mean, you know the world is absolute nonsense yet you force new souls into it without her consent. Therefore, if anyone need to be grateful at all time, it must be PARENT TO THE CHILDREN and not otherwise.
Hey…! This post is only exploratory, don’t start seeing this as some crazy intellectual movement… Having children is a very amazing experience because as I write this I can assure you I love my nephew and I always have “goose pimples” at the sight of my growing niece. They are our jewel! And ofcourse, I look forward to having my child also.
