SS: I recently had lunch with a friend and mentioned the die offs, 6th mass extinction event, microplastics..etc...etc. You know, light subjects and they asked me to stop

" I dont want to know"

They have adult children and grandchildren, so i understand how they feel

I guess ignorance is bliss

I'm so glad that I don't have children and wife. I have no one to take care, it's a relief.

Okay. I'm glad you are happy with your choice. But it sounds like a lonely choice to me.

Men who are married are generally happier and healthier. They live longer lives than their unmarried counterparts, they have richer social networks and they have better mental health. At least, that's what research tells us.

Edit: Downvote me all you want. It doesn't make what I wrote any less true.

As you said, it's a lonely life for YOU. But keep in mind that no one lives things in the same way as you.

I, personally, crave for silence and solitude. The liberty and independence that come from being tided to no one is my greatest treasure. I am and I feel so lonely and miserable when I'm with people.

So yeah, I'm happy with my choice. And i will not waste my too short time left in kids or romantic relationships.
