I on the other hand also agree with you now, that a swift change in politics can definitely upend an entire nation and affect several generations to come.

But when we have children, we go into it with a lot of risk. The child might be born with disorders, develop crippling phobias, be bullied, get cancer. We never know what might happen. I might get run over by a car on my way to work tomorrow. But I can't live my life thinking "what if" all the time. We have to keep going and have to keep fighting for a better life. Or work to maintain a good life we might already have.

Or at least that's a drive that a lot of humans have. It's in the nature of the majority of people I would guess. Otherwise we wouldn't be here, because our ancestors would've already cut the chain. Life is fuckin' hard, quite frankly. And if that drive wouldn't be there, it wouldn't be worth it. ๐Ÿ˜… Sharing it with people you love is what makes it worthwhile IMO.

Thanks for a good talk ๐Ÿ˜Š
