One could argue that a boring life is the best one could wish for. Perfect time to make some kids. That's natures way to cope with that situation. :)
On a serious note, if the only reason a person might bring kids into this world is because they are bored; they are going to be, and make the kids equally, miserable.
This is some of the worst advice in the history of mankind
Making new humans is the worst advice in the history of mankind?
Having a life with a level of security that enables you to be bored, Having actual time to care for your kid.
Yeah, sounds like a terrible plan. You might end up being a responsible parent.
Are you confusing being bored with having no life? Is learning how to knit better for mankind than learning how to raise a kid?
How is it the worst advice in the history of mankind?
Having a kid because you are bored is terrible advice. You should only have a kid if you're inspired to raise one.
I'm pretty sure humanity would die out that way. Inspired to raise one? For most people, it just happens. I'd go so far and say that half of all pregnancies are unplanned. Inspired. What world are you living in? Sounds like a very entitled one.
If you have the means to raise a kid, you should. That's the whole purpose of your body. Seriously. The meaning of life.
You've been brainwashed for too long if you think that a kid could be a burden. Especially if you have time to be bored. That's the reason you are bored in the first place: you are not fulfilling your only true purpose.
What has society done to you that you believe reaching level 140 on mage or knitting a hat is worth more than raising a kid?
What are you talking about LMAO. Lay off the pipe. I still stand by my idea that people should not have a child because they are bored.
Fair enough.
Not smoking though. Working in a Hospital, child care, amongst other areas. Bored parents are the best.;)
