Society is a mistake. Humans in control of others.
No if society is civilized and content, they tend to leave those of us on the edge very much alone and if they are so busy with being a society they have no time to mess with the fringers. which is great by me. Let society ball itself up into vast cities. It leaves more elbow room.
Well, can’t that feasibly happen in the wild as well?
I like to know where problems are. If most bodies are in one location then that is one less worry. If they are not packed together then you have no idea where they will be coming from or when or how. Less stress for me and mine thank you 
The san bushmen don’t worry about such stuff.
I am not one of them my friend. Each group, each person must find their own way. Trouble begins when we think we know what is best for all.
Why do you need people to be close together for you to feel more comfortable? That’s why I said the “san bushmen”. You could leave society, you know, not worry about those things.
Or would you prefer to blow everything up?
You are a mother, correct? Why do you women say you love your children, yet bring them into this world?
No, no, no, reread it, I want others to be packed together in one place not me or mine. 
My trust of humanity only goes as far as I can throw a 400lb human. If they are all together packed up in a city they will leave us alone and give us elbow room. Its a failing of humans that they feel more secure in a herd, which is really a mistake, but, as long as they stick together then they don’t bother those of us on the fringes of society. They are too busy picking fleas off each other.
As far as raising my son in this world, that job is done, he is a man. A mentally secure and physically healthy man. It his fight in this worldnow, it is not my job to fight his fight. In fighting this world there is growth of the mind and soul. sort of like a very large boot camp.
So you’re not a mother? Will you be a mother?
Yeah, I knew that. I still go by what I said.
Humans…don’'t leave each other alone. In society or out of it.
Sorry I had forgot to address the mother part. you must have timed the editing of my post.
So you’re a mother?
Yes to one, a son. That is all my body would allow me to have even though I and my husband wanted a whole housefull
You know, if you say you love your child…why’d you have one? Everyone wishes they weren’t born when they grow older…
Or you don’t love your child? Is it another excuse to live?
Aidan, life has hurt you hasn’t it? No not everyone wishes they were never born. I do not wish that. Even with all the pain and horrible problems I have faced and will face i am very glad to be alive. It is pleasure to grow and change. To face adversities and learn from them.
Not every mother loves their child. To many it is an obligation. Have you heard of Post partum Blues/ syndrome? It seems to be on the rise.
society makes having a child an obligation. It tells women that having a baby and raising it is an obligation and one that they should do with utter joy and happiness. yet society is telling women at the same time they are not obligated to be just mothers they can be more. You see society is giving women mixed messages. Don’t you think that affects women and their underlying conscience.
When I first learned of my pregnancy I did not want the child, But, I saw that my husband did. So I said OK. I will be a mom now for him. The first time I felt our son kick me, it was as if a whole other world opened up. Not only did I get a strong primal protective emotion I felt an overwhelming surge of happiness. This does not happen to every woman. It may not have happened to yours, it did not happen to mine. A love forms or can form later once the mother knows her child. But, not every mother wanted/s to be a mother.
I happily brought our child into this world of hellish problems. My love, unconditional. I see him with a smile on his face and laughter in his heart even though he has faced adversities on his own. He has a strength with in that is phenomenal. If you can love and laugh even though you know hell is coming for you then life is so worth living.
Did your mother look upon you as an obligation or as part of her heart and soul? Did you ever feel loved by her or by anyone that raised you? Did someone see you as a joy to be around?
Hunter-Gatherer option is an unrealistic one. We have progressed too far technologically to just drop it all. People will fight tooth and nail for progress.
As far as our destruction, I personally think mutated bacteria and viruses will spare us the effort and eventually do this job for us (or most of us). Globalization, overpopulation and the use of anti-bacterial agents will only speed this up. (one possible example)
Another person that knows that about over disinfecting. It is amazing that people cannot see what that would and is doing.
Pleasure for you maybe, but pleasure for your future man?
My mother doesn’t give a shit about me. I was an “accident”.
Accidents are good things. I too am an accident as is my son. Now my husband being son to a catholic, its hard to tell if he was an accident or a roll of the dice.
If your mom gave you the impression she would have been better off with out you, then she was wrong. You were the best gift from her loins that she could have given this world. You challenge it. And that my friend is a good thing. Your life brings challenge and challenge is what life thrives on. never never let anyone demean your existance not even your parents.
Accidents are art, accidents breathe the sweet breath of joy to those that can see it for what it is. Let go of your mother’s regrets, It is not you she holds a grudge against it is life itself. you just make an easy target. don’t fall into the trap. It is too easy and very observable once you stop to look. Moms can create an everlasting hell in our minds if we let them, they can be our biggest challenge. use that talented intelligence and get past it. Life won’t ever be easy but it will be worth it.
Stop whining, Aidan. You’re a grown man. You can stand on your own now.
You don’t want to spend all your life like this, do you?
The funny thing is this: Even if I weren’t an “accident”, she didn’t love me anyway! If she loved “me”, “I” would not have even been born.
