  • I believe I try to live my life in a very similar way. I believe there are a lot of us who try to do this. But I do not believe everyone does that. There are many people who are malicious and they know they are. Also I feel the same about pride and praise. In the past I was pointed out I hold myself in too high regard which can result in me beeing patronizing. And I try to work on that since then. Because I feel this is not right and I do want to strive for right.

    Especially you wrote in comments something like: You try to do your best considering your environment, your own limitations and even your own weakneses.

    So given that, I believe you are making one mistake. I would like to expand on your limitations part.

    If you feel this behavior makes you forget your needs this in not “the best you could do”. This is the same as you forgetting to sleep.

    If you are forgetting about yourself like rest, having fun, eat properly, maintaining your mental health. This is not your best or “perfect behaviour” in long term. Because of ignoring your own needs you will not be able to do your best tomorrow or in 10 years or will live few years less to do good or you will not have friends or be part of a community to achieve even better things together. Something like that.

    Also another thought popped in my mind I do not have an answer for and I would like to see your perspective on that. I try to avoid as little responsibility as I can. And I see myself as one who is trying to do his best. But. But when I look on myself objectively I live quite a normal life: I have a job and a family and some hobbies. I try to be there for my friends and family. So asking myself. How is this the best I can do? I am not volunteering or anything like that? So is this “feeling” I am trying my best just a cover for comfort, so I do not have to do some real sacrifices for community?

    Is there any reason why would anyone want that?

    Is it just “I care about animals/rocks soo much I would like humans go extinct.”

    Because without us to give animals more meaning, they are just some random life forms eating, raping and reproducing on a giant rock floating through universe until this rock crashes into sun. Why would you care if there are more of such life forms due to humans leaving earth.

    Is there anything more to it? Am I just too dumb to understand it?

    1. People give this world a meaning. Who cares what happens to the world if there is no one to care.
    2. You need children for the next generation to exist. I believe this one is obvious.
    3. You need people to solve problems. Our generation may have fucked up. But at least give a next generation a chance. I mean do not multiply like rabbits. But maintaining population is important.
    4. You can raise your children, so they will make the change or vote for the people who will make the change.
    5. Climate change is not the only problem. And there are a lot of things to consider when you decide on having kids. Even on individual level I believe it is very beautiful thing to give another human being a chance to experience life. Especially if you do not see the world/life only as bad. But the question “Is it morally good to bring the children to this (broken/beautiful) world” is mostly philosophical and IMO boils down to optimistic vs. pessimistic view on the world.
