I am human-free by choice. I never dreamed of having one. I do not have the urge or desire. I like to use the term “human” vs “child” because being a child is only one phase of being a human. Humans have various stages, i.e., baby, toddler, adult etc. I like to think that when most people say they want to have a child they mean a baby, not a human. People love babies. Babies can be controlled, and do not have any autonomy. They are at the mercy of the adult in their life. I do not understand how some people yearn to have them.

People need to be okay with all stages of a human before having one. Really sit down and ask yourself, am I capable emotionally, mentally, physically? Can I properly guide this human through life to achieve “their” dreams and aspirations. Can I teach them morals and values that align with being a good person? Humans are not your mini-me, twin, or re-do at life.

Babies are a blessing is a scheme that Todd set up to continue populating the earth. If they were truly a blessing, people would not complain as much as they do about having them.

I know myself. I do not want to teach anyone how to survive in this raggedy world. Humans need to become extinct. We have had too much time to self-correct. Maybe a new species can do a better job than we have.
