Humanity is the biggest threat to its own existence. Our educational system doesn't teach people how to appreciate people or how to build positive feedback loops. It just shows us what we've created and destroyed over the years. It shows people how to memorize things poorly.
I've been conditioned from a young age by religion, history, politics, and media to believe what a relationship should be. Relationships are romanticized between a man and a woman with the goal of marriage and kids. A man is suppose to be stoic, hard headed and strong. And a women is suppose to be a domesticated caring motherly servant.
I heard a group of women talking about what they were going to name their first baby the other day at work. It wasn't about IF they were going to have one. Not even a question. Aren't babies the cutest things?
Why is this existence promoted?
What could we do with all that time?
Do people think working a nine to five for barely over minimum supports healthy lifestyles? Depends on the support systems of the employees... but chances are, if you're depending on the job, it's for money and stability... in a stagnant, frigid environment. Are we stagnant and frigid enough for you yet?
We're all prostitutes.
If you're conditioned from a young age to design your life around marriage, sexuality and having kids, then you're selling sex for comfort. You're selling sex for the idea of pregnancy. Maybe even selling marriage for the idea. And it's praised because you're taking care of the 'future.' Love is not a requirement. Does love need to be a requirement?
Pregnancy is a heavy, half century sacrifice to birthing a better you.
I don't think that maternity is evil. I don't know what evil is. I know that our cultures promote capitalism. Where simple stable foundation is valued but not taught, that is competition's job. Machismo is an essential part of survival because it translates as a highly successful trait in a capitalistic system. Then we wonder why sexual abuse is so rampant. If you want to be considered competent and a contributing member of society you have kids and you make money.
Maybe, as parents, we're expected to enlighten the offspring in the ways that our schooling avoids... Which is dumb. What are schools even teaching that's relevant to progress? We don't even know why we're having kids in the first place.
My dad is a philosopher because he liked consciousness. He felt the only way to put things in perspective was to teach himself about the development of thought. Unfortunately it did nothing to teach him about circumstance.
When I've burned bridges in the past the hardest part was saying I was sorry. It didn't rebuild the bridge, but it showed that I was trying to change, it shifted the momentum to a cooperative realm and people could respond easily to that. It's never too late be vulnerable, especially in a position of power. The more I become willing to, the more people are willing to be with me, and the more opportunities for change open around me.
