About parents

Coming from me, this is completely worthless, but at the risk of sounding like an angsty teenager, here's my opinion on parents:

First of all, parents justify their absolute control over you by saying that they gave you life. Well, did you ask for it? Were you ever given a chance to deny it?

No, of course not. That would be impossible--the point is, you didn't have a choice, nor did your parents give you something that you were in want of. How then, is "giving life" a favor? The world is filled with both good and bad things, and because of the latter, it would seem unethical to bring someone here. You can't guarantee that your child is going to be happy in life; and even if you were filthy rich and could provide all the pleasures in life, spoiling your child, wouldn't you still be controlling that child's life? Ask someone: would you rather be free of all obligations, have everything handed to you, and be ignorant of the world's affairs, or would you rather suffer and to keep your knowledge? A lot of people might choose the former, but others will choose the latter. The problem is that your child will be controlled, manipulated with or without their knowledge.

Now, you may ask, "But Kyu, if you were given the choice being of ignorant or nonexistence and alive, knowing, and suffering, what would you choose? If you're complaining so much, why don't you just kill yourself and be so like you never existed?" (Actually, I don't think anyone would ask me that, I'm just trying to make a point here). The reason I haven't already committed suicide is because I'm already a sentient being with the ability to make choices. I may have been forced into existence, but it doesn't mean I have to leave. Besides, I am instinctively programmed against suicide, given am instinct to survive, and I don't think I've ever been done so much harm to override that. My sentience keeps me from automatically rejecting my own existence.

Also consider the following: you have been infected with a disease. This disease will not kill you, but you will be in great pain for the rest of your life. However, you can choose to undergo an experimental treatment, the only drawback being that if it fails, you could be in even worse pain. Some would choose to undergo the treatment, others will not. Some may even consider suicide in such a case. But how would you like it if somebody made that choice for you. Might not be so bad if their decision coincided with your preference, but what if it didn't?

If your parents planned your conception, then they decided for you with complete disregard to how you may feel or how much you would suffer--you could be emotionally stable with an income going into six figures, or you could be a miserable cocksucker at the local crackhouse. That's a hell of a gamble. Also, when you consider the possible motives behind a planned conception, they look pretty selfish. Ask people with children why they decided to have babies and they will give you reasons like:
-Passing on the family name
-Always wanted to be a parent
-Social pressures/expectations
-They felt like it
-and other reasons that seem self-gratifying.

If your parents didn't plan your conception? Well then, that's what we call an "accident". You see, they were so wrapped up in their lust that they neglected to take the necessary precautionary measures; or they did, but did so knowing that no form of contraception is 100% effective. Either way, they fucked up, and nine months later, you plopped out of your mother's vagina. Yay!

Your parents don't own you so don't just follow them blindly, believing everything they say. Of course, I don't mean that you should stop caring for or loving them--that's your problem. If anything, they owe you. They knew what they were getting into when they decided to fuck; they knew the consequences of their actions. They feed you and clothe you because that is their obligation, not a favor to you. Sure, they could treat you like shit, but that wouldn't change the fact that they owe you, not own you. Besides, one of the reasons they're not treating you like shit is because they know they will feel guilty, and that's still self-gratifying. If beating you felt like jacking off you'd be a bloody pulp next to a semen stain on the carpet right now.
