These children suffer because they have been thrust into a world they did not choose and stuck in circumstances they cannot control. Life may seem like a gift when you are born with a silver spoon in your mouth. But what is it when you aren't?

Bear witness to this child's suffering. This is the legacy of procreation. Children never conceived will never suffer such a fate. No harm ever befalls someone from non-existence.
Antinatalism is compassion in action.

Some people are not cut out to be parents, and in some cases, this can lead to brutally tragic consequences. It would have been better if these innocent children had never been conceived in the first place.

Consumerism and the privileges of wealth are simply distractions that temporarily ameliorate our eternal dissatisfaction with existence. Were we not so dissatisfied, these things would hold no sway over us. What happens to us when they vanish? #ExistenceIsSuffering #Antinatalism #Consumerism

Some people are not cut out to be parents, yet they blunder ahead blindly and have children anyhow— consequences be damned.

To exist is to suffer. Not religion, nor philosophy, nor ethics, nor science, nor art can ever ameliorate the suffering of existence. Death is the only release for the living, but non-birth is a get-out-of-jail-free card for the unborn.

First, it is possible to think that both coming into existence is a serious harm and that death is (usually) a serious harm. Indeed, some people might think that coming into existence is a serious harm in part because the harm of death is then inevitable.

Best of all for mortal beings is never to have been born at all. Nor ever to have set eyes on the bright light of the sun.

Religion, philosophy, beliefs, and attitudes are mere coping mechanisms. But we wouldn't need to cling to coping mechanisms if existence were not an affliction in the first place. We can prevent other people from enduring this affliction by not reproducing. #Antinatalism #ExistenceIsSuffering

Human industry comes with a high price. Everything we create eventually gets cast aside as refuse, ultimately polluting and poisoning our only home. We are a scourge, and the world is better off without us. Gradual, self-imposed extinction is the answer. #ExistenceIsSuffering #Antinatalism

There are two kinds of people in this world:
1.) Those who are indifferent to the suffering their actions may cause for others and 2.) dead people.

A homeless black man lying on the ground amid his meager belongings and a wheelchair.
Two homeless people sitting on the ground. They have a few belongings and they appear to be strung out on drugs, but the exact context is unknown.
Bear witness to the flotsam and jetsam of the human species. If their parents had known what would become of them, would they have brought them into existence? We cannot know what fate awaits our offspring. #Antinatalism is a reliable form of harm reduction. #ChildFree #ExistenceIsSuffering

Every despot was once an innocent child. Imagine a world in which those who grow up to harm others were denied a chance to exist. #Antinatalism #VoluntaryHumanExtinction #ExistenceIsSuffering

Black & white photo, which appears to show a family grieving over their dying son in the hospital. No more details known.
Suffering is the natural consequence of procreation. The unborn will never suffer such a fate. No harm ever befalls someone from non-existence. Antinatalism is compassion in action.

Regretting motherhood: What have I done to my life?
I love my kids fiercely. But, if I’m being totally honest, there are times when I catch myself dreaming about the life I might have if . . .

Why would people choose to have children if they can't offer them a better future than this? The truth is that people put little consideration into the consequences of procreation, or how it perpetuates suffering. #Antinatalism #VoluntaryHumanExtinction #ExistenceIsSuffering
