But it doesn't matter. The vast majority of people disagree with me and I'm too selfish in practice to even follow my own advice
What advice....?
Quote:If I decide I want to be a parent and I find someone who wants to have a kid with me and I want to have one with them... I'll go for it. I don't care if it's 1% immoral in my philosophical view. The child will get plenty of happiness even if one minute of toothache outweighs all their smilesDoes it, though...did it, for you? Is there some toothache in your past that mooted all happiness? Some toothache that you would trade, for all of the good things...had you not had to deal with that..you'd give the rest up?
