This is why I'm still thinking about not bringing a child into this world.

Though, I love children because of their innocence & the desire to a lot of things down to them - knowledge, wealth, etc.

I'm going to breakdown mentally, emotionally, psychologically, socially & even spiritually if I loose a younger one, especially a child.

I'm leaning towards antinatalism!

Really painful and saddening.

I would rather adopt a child than to give birth.

The two things that makes me sad about life whenever I think about it is losing a loved one and a loved one losing me to death😥

Even if we pray to live very long can we really move on from living to see some of our loved ones die.

When I think about death, it makes me feel sad and heartbroken.

There's no such thing as death, except the fear put in your mind by foreign religions.

You'll never die but you'll move on from human to other higher beings or be de-moted by mother nature if you don't rise above your current human state. In other words, you've been other creatures before you became a human being.

Ancient Egyptians who did more research about life and death said it takes about 3,600 years to be all things (elephant, mosquito, ants, tree, etc) and get back to where you are today, IF you don't escape the birth and rebirth NOW.

When you escape it, you'll become God-like and will never die again. The real purpose of life is to become God-like as instructed to Adam and Eve in Genesis by the good savior Satan the real Christ.

But guess what?

This is not what you and others want to hear. So, keep living in fear.

ObalendeCMS:
I think I will feel very bad if I lose a younger loved one.

I'm still yet to recover & forgive my mom for the death of my late step sister; died in 2013.

I will feel same way if I lose my younger brother too.

But will be indifferent to the lose of an older relative.

Maybe my child, if & when I have one.

Reason why I'm scared of bringing a precious life into this wicked & crazy cold world!

Forgive your mum and be free

Death is inevitable

hThat na why i wan fvck toto to my satisfaction before then

JAPAHTML:
So someone is just like me out there 🥲 I usually visit my caring father, whenever am coming to his farm I will be observing him from afar how he is so hardworking and caring no matter the little he have😢 even as a boy I am sometimes I will go inside our house in the village and do a 2 minutes cry 😭 you might ask why? Is because I know one day he will die 💔 same thing with mum, I don't know why we were made in this way, my siblings 😢 I will stare at them and be like so one day this one's will be buried 6 feet down 😭😭😭😭 including I 🥲 one day my children will cry cos they lose their father too

Soo Unfair

Abobi you sound too emotional for a man. You're supposed to know and accept harsh realities of life not behaving like a sissy over something you can't change.

If anyone of your family kpai,you can as well kpai yourself to follow them.

Pussyisgud:
Death is inevitable

That is the sad truth.

And each time I a lot of my friends and relatives gone, I feel very empty and lonely.

This world is a lonely place no matter how many people that surround you at any point in time.....in fact, as we age we become more lonely

Death is nothing but a transition to another world

Eriokanmi:
If you have Christ and you truly believe in Him, you don't need to worry cos heaven is an eternal place. We humans aren't meant to be here perpetually. When my mum ed early this year, it gave me a rethink about life in general. I was so happy she prayed till her last breath. She was known for that while she was alive. I was home one evening, not knowing she had gone. She gave me a sign in the evening. I was so scared, thinking a ghost had invaded our house. She did same to one of my siblings who resides outside lagos.
The confirmation of her being in a good place as received gave me joy.

If you're not scared of sleep, you shouldn't be scared of death cos sleep is like a younger brother of death. The difference is the fact that, you still have life inside of you. You don't know what happens once you're asleep. Many had ed on from their sleep. Had they known they'd die that way, they'd have always been offside of sleep.

Live your life in the fear of God and kindness to humanity. You'd be fine ultimately.

Interesting!

That's another way to go around it.

My plan Is to visit different orphanage from time to time & make donations because I really like children.

I'm only scared if I will be able to absorb the shock if anything happens to child under my care & with whom I've bonded with overtime.

Well it is better to take care of those who are alive now than to bring another living thing to come and face this hard and cruel world.

especially bringing in kids when the parents no get money.

We may feel that we are in the worst situation ... but somehow ... the pain becomes less we think of others in a worse situation ... a situation that makes us feel after all ... it's not that bad with me. Just imagine those people whose loved on left home .... and never returned? We see bodies on the roadways ... someone killed while trying to cross the road ... tanker truck explodes razed several enger vehicles burning the occupants beyond recognition ... people kidnapped ..killed and dumped ... victims who left home and their people still waiting for them to return ... not knowing their demise. You know what happened to your loved one .. you have seen their dead body ...know they are buried .. know where they are resting in death ... you have closure. The unknown victim's family has none of this ... every knock on the door brings hope that the person has finally returned but disappointment each time. Would you like to trade places? Always ... it could've been worse. Let's keep on moving forward ... not forgetting the past .. but just try not to dwell in the past .

You're afraid of death, and it is not a good way to live.
Fear has torment.

The solution to that is to have a close relationship with God, the giver and sustainer of life, and commit your life and the lives of your family to GOD daily, and watch that fear of death flee from you. That's it!

So na Satan be the real Christ 😁😁😁😁

Una no go kill person for this nairaland oooo

durentboi:

This is cool too, if the parents are good people though.

That's why you need to Detach from the world including family and friends.

Detachment will make you not feel bad in case of any loss.

I'm scared of poverty more than death.

I have never seen any set of people more afraid of death than Christians. Una wan stay world forever? Una dey fear say heaven and hell no exist? I’m atheist and I made my peace with death long ago. When the exam comes, I will it. The only people in my books who deserved death were those over ninety-nine years of age. Humans younger were meant to experience old age first. Is that how life plays out? No. Do I have a problem with it? No.

Ask GOD to give you purpose, and you will see that life is not meaningless.
Purpose gives meaning to life.
Don't live everyday thinking about death. That is not the way to live. That is not why GOD created you.

Marvyx:
This is why as Christians, we strive to make heaven and also preach to your unsaved loved ones so that you can all fellowship at the Master's feet in heaven.

While the pain of losing them on earth is real, we glory in the fact that they only transcended beyond this wicked world to a better place.

Today is my birthday and even as a young guy of 30, I have attended more burials than birthday, the more I draw closer to my day of death, I see how meaningless life can be and I can't imagine how people go through this life just not thinking about their death.

I can only cry at a burial from the loss of losing a loved one but once I know to a great certainty that their soul is saved in Christ, that helps my pain to a great deal.

Meedon:

how is cool to bring children to come and suffer in this harsh world?

I have accepted this reality long ago.
Being a medical doctor and haven certified many patients dead, I know that one day it will be my turn, however for me it doesn't make me sad rather it gingers me to give my best every day of my life. I have seen enough and witnessed many death for me to be afraid of it.
I know death is certain and I embrace it as I do Life. Everyone will leave this world one day including you and me! So cheer up brother

This is psychologically, mentally & emotionally draining & tormenting!

Think of it this way - two sides of a coin.

How do you practice detachment?

I mean taking care of those who are already in this world and avoid giving birth.

Really so Unfair... Same thing i am going through right now. I lost my dad October 3rd, 2024. I keep ing the time together with him while growing up, yes he is an old man but very active. Looks like we exist for some times on this earth then become a waste after. Why can't we live forever. We should just grow to a point then stop growing and continue existing. I how he used to tell me about his own late father, i used to be scared and was wishing he won't die.

I started having the feelings that this man is going about some years ago when he will call me and tell me things i need to note down for future purpose, how i should deal with my siblings, how he want us to watch after each other etc, then he will say don't be scared because i am not going to die now. But today my father is no more, i feel so sad. I how he tells me he has missed me whenever i visit him.

My dad feel fulfilled anytime he hear of my progress and achievements. I always strive and work hard to impress him and make him happy.

I will travel home without informing him and then surprise him. Now i don't really feel the hustling spirit anymore, my father is no longer there for me to impress.

I am now doing my best just for my kids, the cycle continues just like that on this earth. One day when i am old, i will go too and they will miss me😂
