My wife and I are trying to decide whether to have kids. She's on the 'probably not' side, I'm pretty much on the fence. She is on the 'probably not' side because we are comfortable. But perhaps comfort is not what we need?
What keeps me on the fence is the sorry state of the world and all the crap you hear and see on the news always brings up. Do I want to bring children into this f***ed up world? And part of me says that we are right on the edge of figuring out how to live within our means on our home planet - that we're in the middle of some very positive changes. We've realized these limits and are fumbling around figuring out what to do about them, but we'll figure it out. But then I see the downhill in the economic situation, military conflicts, nuclear weapons, food shortages, tons of conspiracy theories flying around, and say 'maybe not so much on kids'.
In terms of the 'state of the world', yes or no to kids?
