Ryan, a 48-year-old teacher living in North Carolina, quite literally wishes he had never been born. He has a “deep resentment” towards his parents.

Time to make the selfless choice, tough it out without children, and break the cycle. It will be worse for you, but better for countless future generations who won’t have to deal with it anymore.
That choice is just impossible to make at a global level
It doesn’t need to be made at a global level. It can be made at a personal level, one person at a time.
