Cracks in the ceiling caused by running children?

...it's a pretty lousy portrayal of children. No child in this world is inherently evil or plunges the world into chaos. Not even 100 or 1,000,000 children.

How do you know that? Do you know a million children? I would already have real problems with 10 ... I think you didn't understand me. I'll try to clarify it differently. Imagine you had a cute little mouse at home for the children to play with. All wonderful. Even 2 are still cute. Even 10 could be a fun group. But at 100 it gets disgusting, right? Now you wish for a cat. 100,000 mice - oh my God! And the little mice are not evil by nature and don't want to plunge the world into chaos. But if there are a million mice in your house... then they are simply the plague because they destroy everything. Whether they are big, fat, young, or old doesn't matter. The mice aren't allowed to reproduce anymore, right? If they also stomp so hard that the ceiling collapses, that doesn't make them any more likeable, but it actually doesn't matter, right?

I don't think we need to discuss this based on that. There are neither 1,000,000 mice living in my house nor 1,000,000 children. Viewed from a global perspective, it probably looks different.

But apparently we are talking on two completely different levels. I am dealing with the formation of character and where you are... maybe with bacteria.

I maintain that children are neither the plague nor do they become that on their own. And you can bring me 100 examples for all I care.

And you will understand me once you have dealt with the subject. In whatever way.

I don't think we have to discuss this on that basis. Neither 1,000,000 mice nor 1,000,000 children live in my house. Seen from a global perspective, it's probably different.

I don't think he means "children are the plague"... children are probably the only real purpose of life. Everything can be boiled down to "for the children."

What he probably means to say is: All humanity's problems can probably be boiled down in the long run to one central problem ---> overpopulation. It doesn't take science to come to the realization that our resources are finite. Many, many billions of people will most likely continue to die from disease, malnutrition, and war in the long term. That is the tragedy. The Earth itself will eventually recover from this... I don't worry about that. We are not even a "blink of an eye" in the history of our beautiful planet.

How do you know that? Do you know a million kids? I would already have real problems with just 10.... I think you didn’t understand me. I want to clarify it differently. Imagine you had such a pretty little mouse at home for the children to play with. Everything wonderful. Even 2 are still cute. Even 10 could be a fun group. But at 100 it gets disgusting, right? Now you’re wishing for a cat. 100,000 mice - oh my god! And the little mice are by nature not evil at all and don’t want to plunge the world into chaos. But if there are a million mice in your house... then they are simply just the plague because they destroy everything. Whether they are big, fat, young, or old is irrelevant. The mice must not multiply anymore, right? If they also stomp so much that the ceiling collapses, that doesn’t make them more likeable, but it actually doesn’t matter, does it?

Do you even have children? Probably not, otherwise you wouldn’t have time to post here.

Only women who are childless, either unable to have children or without a suitable partner, can connect children and plague.

If you do have children and your worldview developed because they are disobedient, I can reassure you. They are only living out what they have been shown by you.

do you even have children?

Well, that question had to come. Ok, I have 5 children, or no, wait I only have one. Oh nonsense, I have none or just 2? It is completely irrelevant to the statement and no matter what I say, it will be interpreted to my disadvantage, right?

Hardly, then you wouldn’t have time to post here.

So does that mean everyone who writes here has no children?

If you do have some and your worldview arose because they are disobedient, I can reassure you. They just act out what they have been taught by you.

Yes, as I said, no matter what, it is my fault. I want to fundamentally say something about this. So it’s not the children who are the plague, but the people. And when they multiply like mice, even though the world is already totally overpopulated, that is disaster enough. And when they also destroy the land and “plague” it with dirt, noise, etc., it doesn’t make it any better. Even if your “mice” are so sweet—I love them too—but there are too many. Period. If there weren’t so many, we wouldn’t need a neighborhood law at all. But since that is the case, I find mutual consideration enormously important. And children can learn that already. In other countries it works too.

I don’t think we need to discuss this on that basis. There are neither 1,000,000 mice in my house nor 1,000,000 children. From a global perspective, that probably looks different.

Sweetie, you are probably too emotional here—you somehow miss the point. I better save myself a comment.

The Earth itself will recover from it eventually... I'm not worried about that. We are not even a "blink of an eye" in the history of our beautiful planet

Yes, sure. Sooner or later someone will find a virus that kills us all. But that's not really the problem, is it? The real question is, is life still worth living when resources are so scarce that many starve? When we get on each other's nerves so much that we kill each other. When the rivers stink, the trees are missing, the air is polluted, the weather floods us with hurricanes and floods, and so on and so forth.
