The Random Thoughts of Me, This week
Friday, November 7, 2008, 19:04
I've been thinking about four very interesting questions.

Q1. Why do people want children?

Q2. Why do people not want children?

Q3. Should abortion be allowed?

Q4. Should euthanasia be allowed?

A1. So, let's tackle the first question. People often say that children brought joy to their lives, enlightened them on many things, became the source of daily entertainment, gave them much glee and was fun to raise. Maybe. I can't see that now. I think children are only adorable and fun when they're babies. After that they start to talk and rebel and oppose you on all kinds of things. I've helped out enough at my mother's art camps for children to know. To me, they're irritating sometimes. Most of my friends know that I'm kind of short-tempered. (Kind of is an understatement.) Maybe some people have children out of an obligation, or to fit into a circlish square. A circlish square is my inventment. Because I think these two shapes are perfect, and when I say circlish square, I mean a mold that people seem to have to fit into. Like: marry, have a couple of kids after a period of up to a year, enjoy marriage, still remain faithful despite love waning over the years as Mr. Old Age(my invention) knocks on the door with his suitcase full of old age and a laptop filled with information about the people he has to visit and distribute each person's share. My inventions should have a post all to it's own. My brain is equipped with a very fertile imagination, and I take buses back from school, which provide me with plenty of time to imagine. Then grow old together, living nicely, not bickering too much, children visiting once or twice a week, then finally dying, with the doting spouse and grown-up children mourning beside. Maybe the older generation(May grandparents I mean) want them to have children to cary on the family name(Shit man, just how long ago was that?!)

A2. People may think that children are a hassle, a waste of kaya(that came from a television show that's on now, I'm half-listening, and they're talking about kaya)I mean waste of money, and a waste of time. Perhaps they are. Maybe they just take up space, bring problems like teenage angst(like my dad claims that's what I'm going through), flood the house with their swearing(what I'm doing) and other things like enrichment classes, leisure classes, sports and other money-sapping things, like if they have some kind of health/body problem, there's treatments and check-ups and medication(if any) and medical things that turn into Money Monster(my invention)too. (hint hint: Money Monster scarfs down money with a vengeance.)

A3. Yes and no. Yes for the people who had been raped, and yes and no for those with no finances to raise it. I'm not saying you can't have sex with your spouse if you can't raise the baby it might produce, just that you might want to use your brain to think of one word: contraceptives. No for those who just don't want to have a baby. Unprotected sex is exactly the thing that people who don't want a baby shouldn't have.

A4. Depends. If they have a terminal illness, and have a bleak future ahead of them, filled with pani and suffering, maybe they should get their doctor to do it. But if they're just tired of living, sinking into depression and wanting to die, then no. Go get a counselor.

This is all that's been on my mind this week. Less than other weeks...because I keep on having debates with myself about the questions, and I can't move on to others. Now it's out. I wonder what's next. (Goes away and thinks hard for approximately half a minute)
I know! (Comes back with a lightbulb above my head, my finger raised high in the air) The great debate about whether I am a homo/bi starts now!!!! Haha. People, don't be alarmed. I'm perfectly safe. OY! why are you all running off and screaming? WHY YOU ALL 'TAO' ME?!
