a childless future

The childless future The modern way of living has made us soft we forget life is a struggle to survive  when we are safe and have reached the top of the pyramid, the long view that is  short and has in its grasp emptiness with no more mountains to climb, we sink into apathy because we have it all and having it all leads to depression  near is no freedom in modern life  every moment is regulated into sections  when to work, rest, and pay bills  women have left their function of looking after giving birth to a new human  their demand to be equal to men has been met, but it is a pyrrhic win The male, too, has softened the minds of the sexes are equalized, No need to walk into the forest with an ax to slaughter pigs and fight lions, the responsibility for survival is no longer his to bother about in this new over-regulated society, there is no room for children, they are a hindrance   in the illusion of happiness, women get to keep a slim, sexy body until old. and men go to  fitness clubs develop strengths and befriend other men in a mutual self-attraction *********** replaces love that is unwanted and only awakes the need for procuration  There is no room for deity, Materialism is  our dogma, there is nothing after us but sand blowing in loss of meaning
