Everything we choose to do or not do can have an enormous impact on future generations. After recently watching Demographic Winter I have become more enlightened about the impact we make by choosing to postpone, or deny ourselves the privilege of having children. Our generation has shifted to individualistic thinking where we no longer feel that we need to get married or to have children, we can do it all on our own. What many people don't realize though is how much we need children in everything, and how much the family is the fundamental unit of society, the unit of growth and development. If we continue to have less children every generation, we will live to see it's effects that it makes on us and our world. Our thoughts will become even more focused on ourselves because we will never learn what it is like to have someone depend on us completely for survival. There is something about having someone who needs you desperately that makes you a better person. People who have children and who marry think less of themselves because they learn that life is about others, if there weren't others we would have no reason for living.
Who do you believe will be most effected by those who choose not to have children?
