Is life hard?

Saying “life is hard,” of course, does not diminish its value. Life is the only thing that grants value or meaning to anything. Think of all the beauty you have seen or enjoyed in life – especially that created by fellow sentients – and try to imagine no one left to experience it – this is the meaning of the extreme anti-natalist stance. Again, we do want people to be reasonably sure, if they have children, that they will be well provided for. Once born, though, a fellow sentient should be treated in a way that will bring out the potential for love and fascination immanent in each of us. Bringing out this potential is a challenge now, as depression is becoming epidemic in my country, so I would advise anyone with the time to create and/or share works that might help.
