My unpopular opinion, and I don’t care if you agree with me or not — I’m of the opinion that people should stop bringing children into this world (especially in Africa) if they don’t have the resources to carter for them Make it a rant
Honestly, let’s just lay it all out there. It's frustrating to see people bringing children into the world without having the resources to care for them. It’s not just about love — yes, love is important, but let’s be real: love does not pay the bills, it doesn’t put food on the table, and it sure as heck won’t provide a stable, nurturing environment for a child to thrive in.
In many places, especially in Africa, the challenges are glaring. Overpopulation, scarce resources, dwindling opportunities — it's like a ticking time bomb. You have families struggling just to make ends meet, but they still choose to have more children. It’s heartbreaking and infuriating! These kids deserve better than to be born into a life of uncertainty, where their basic needs are a constant struggle.
The cycle perpetuates itself. Parents without resources are unable to provide a quality education or healthcare for their kids. This leads to a cycle of poverty that feels impossible to break. So, why are we still prioritizing quantity over quality? I mean, shouldn’t we be focusing on how to ensure the children we do bring into the world have a fighting chance? Shouldn’t the goal be to raise well-rounded, healthy individuals who can contribute positively to society?
It’s not a message that’s easy to digest, but it’s one that needs to be heard. Yes, everyone has the right to decide how many children to have, but we’ve got to start thinking responsibly about the consequences our choices have on the world. It’s time to have hard conversations about family planning and resource allocation. We shouldn’t be afraid to say it: if you can’t provide, please reconsider bringing another life into an already strained environment.
We owe it to the next generation to do better. Let's stop romanticizing the idea of having large families without the means to support them and start advocating for a future where every child has the opportunity to succeed, not just survive. That’s the change we need. So yes, let’s be unpopular — let’s challenge each other to think critically about the impact of our decisions. Because at the end of the day, it’s about the quality of life we give to the children in this world. And they deserve so much more.
