If people were totally comfortable with their position I don't know why they need to lash out defensively at me because of it (as some people have done before).
Weirdly enough, one of my brothers feels exactly the same way (independently so).
I can't say I agree with yours and pyrrho's position that having kids is an immoral injustice to them, lol, but I definitely respect your right to have that position and there is absolutely 0 reason for me to get upset at you over it.
I don't really understand those who get upset at others for thinking a certain thing is morally wrong. As long as it doesn't take away anyone's basic rights, then there is no reason why it should make me angry.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
