[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (2 children) The most depressing pessimistic view of humanity ever penned. In a nutshell, "You can only make things worse, kill yourself." permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Katrisia@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) More like: "It is a bad neverending cycle.

The first part can be about suicide, you're right. The second part reminds me of antinatalism, and I think it makes sense for breaking the cycle described. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Twitchy1@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 point 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) I agree with Katrisia, it's a never ending cycle. It's also an exercise in futility though, Too many uncontrollable variables. As a son... I see it as my parents probably tried to improve what their parents did and it may not have turned out how they would have wanted the intention was good. I hope my kids will also see that even though it wasn't perfect I tried to improve what my parents had done. The last line I hope some people take seriously. Enjoy your life without kids, parenting is difficult and will bring a life of hardships... But it's worth it if you put in the effort as long as you know you can't make the perfect person. No changing your mind once you start. If you do go out for milk and never come back then the poem was true. permalink fedilink source parent
