Heavy topic.

While it is customary to leave a conclusion part for the end of an article, I have quite strong feelings (as you could probably tell by reading the rest of the article) about this topic that I want to make an exception to this and address my opinion upfront and immediately:

Children are a blessing!

How can we call ourselves a great civilization or even worse “an evolved civilization” if we see our children as burdens and not practical? How far can civilization survive without children (or to clarify: enough children)? I am not saying that jobs and careers are not important, but they are not more important than children. What good, in the long run, are you doing to civilization by postponing kids (and then probably never having any or maybe one, two at best) in favor of your career?

Now I am certain that some would claim that some individuals made more impact on development of civilization through their work then through their children (if they had any). While that statement is true for some individuals, it’s an exception which doesn’t make it a rule.

Of what exactly are kids getting in the way when you are young (early 20s)? Partying multiple times a week and drinking until 3 am and then being hungover most of the next day? You could say that the kids would get in the way of your studying but in majority of the cases I’d say that’s BS.

You have three things to do as a young person: studying, marriage and family, partying and traveling. Now you only have time to do two of these three things comfortably, it’s all about priorities. It’s not that you don’t have time to have a family, it’s just not high on your priority list, at least not above having fun and drinking the night away. That is fine, but don’t lie to yourself (and others) saying you don’t have time for kids, just say “I don’t have kids because I don’t want them”.

I know I came on pretty harsh, but it doesn’t bother me when people don’t have kids / don’t want to have kids. What bothers me is the notion that these little ones are a burden, now.. even that claim wouldn’t bother me so much if something much worse (by far) came from it and that something is… ABORTION.

When people start killing their unborn children because they don’t feel like having them and caring for them right now, that is not an “advanced and developed civilization”. That is a very primitive and ruthless society, acting like animals. The act of abortion is so wicked and vile that it is no wonder that people doing it have come up with all kind of excuses and terms to dehumanize the unborn child as much as possible by calling it a “just a clump of cells” etc.

These terms are understandable because if they would face reality with themselves, the guilt would probably eat them alive. However, while it is understandable it is not justifiable, because just because you don’t want to admit that you are killing a baby that doesn’t change the fact that you are.

You can say things like “Well, what about rape or incest victims?” but the fact is that they are a very marginal case and even in those cases do you think it is fair to punish an unborn child, who did nothing wrong, for the wrongdoings of his/her father? “But that child will always be a reminder for me of the horrible thing that happened to me!” I doubt that but even so… how is that a justifiable reason? So why not kill all men that resemble the raper? Oh you can’t, because the law forbids that, so you are going to kill as many of them as you can, that the law allows, and the only ones you can (that would remind you of horrible rape event) is the child in your womb. Horrific.

I could talk about abortion and how illogical it is for hours (and probably will in later posts someday) but I think this is enough for now.

I repeat, children are a blessing, bringing immense joy and laughter into our lives, as they teach us the true meaning of unconditional love and creativity. As they grow and explore, we witness their milestones, those are the memories you will cherish forever, no memory comes even close to that. From their first steps to their first words, all of them a reminder of the preciousness of life and the importance of family within any prospering civilization.

I try my best not to judge people as I believe God is the only judge, I merely try to open peoples eyes to the truth and facts so that they have enough time to ask forgiveness from God and also to forgive themselves.

Have or don’t have kids, your choice, but do not harm them and accept your responsibilities.
