i agree whole heartidly. it's bad enough that beautiful chidren get created in a world that has a lot of bad in it, but i would like to think that we could/should create children at least in a good enviroment, and a good situation to where they can learn how to deal with the bad of the world healthier ya know?
ya know, an odd example, is with my smoking cigarettes. sure its legal, and it's more accepted by society than lets say illegal drugs (even tho that acceptance is going down quite fast) but to be honest with you bro.? i don't want children till i can quit smoking cigarettes at least.
i grew up around cigarettes. grant it tho, i will say, this for me brings up good childhood memories. watching dad bowl in a bowling alley that when you walk into, you walk out smelling like you just smoked a carton of cigarettes, ha. it always brings me smiles remembering those times. i spent half of my childhood in a bowling alley. i love bowling alleys.
but point being, i don't my kids to walk home from school and smell cigarettes in their home. i don't want their health to be at risk. i don't want my child to see daddy smoking and think, oh its ok to smoke when its not, its stupid to inhale cigarettes. its one addiction that i wish i had it in me more and more to quit, but its the most difficult. i've quit pot basically because the epiphany moment was when i got stoned out of my mind one night in college, woke up feeling like life is grand, and great, and then by evening, i was debating suicide. so with that, and a specific song from a heavy metal band, soulfly, i found a way to get off of pot, as well as a great friend of mine, who let me move in with him. it took a DUI to learn mature drinking and controlled drinking, which now is the norm for me. but cigarettes? i just don't know what to do.
i'm a guy who hates the idea of being on pills to fix something like this. i'm a guy and i have too much manly pride. thinking i can do it myself. when honestly i can't. but, i have some time left before i have to pay more extra a week for my insurance. it sucks ha, but i agree with it. smokers increase the risk for health insurance a lot more than people who love fast food or drink. so i may have to swallow my manly pride and get on pills to quit because, i'm getting so tired of it. and i'm at an age now that, children may be coming up. grant, please pray not any time soon tho
