Problems of the children of the future

“When will you have children?”

An issue that young people aged 25 to 35 hear so many times that if they took a dollar for the issue each time, they would raise a three-digit sum of money.

It’s a question that’s almost more intimate than the question when you last had a bowel movement because it involves multiple factors that in most cases have nothing to do with who asked the question. And somehow we like to bother with the one who asked the question because here he is bothering with our future. Well then we analyze whether he asked it with some intent or out of pure curiosity.

And the question makes you think so much, and then you see a sea of reasons why you don’t know the answer to the question “When?” even to answer yourself, let alone the one who asked the question.

The present has taken timid steps into a hazy future. Fear is sown everywhere that even the germs of that weed frighten us, and we do not know how to destroy it and to what extent it can grow.

Jobs, interpersonal relationships, mental health and everyday life in general were reached. And here are some of the reasons why we don’t know the answer to the question where we’re going on vacation in a few months, let alone when we’re going to have kids.

And somehow, when we remember the childhood to us who are asked the above question, we realize how many problems we had then, today a beautiful memory because they did not later make it difficult for us to grow and live.

We want the main problems of the children of the future to be: that the coach didn’t put him in the top eleven, that she didn’t enroll in the Academy of Fine Arts, that Dad didn’t lend him a car to go out, that he didn’t buy a ticket for his favorite band on time, a concert in a town 330km away, ect….

After all, let the problems of the children of the future be the ones they create for themselves, not the problems that someone else puts on their backs.

When we are sure that the children of the future will create problems for themselves that will be insignificant when they grow up and when we know that the weed of fear does not spread at every step, then most will have the answer to the question “When?”

And then when they ask you that question, ask them if they would like to be children of a foggy future? Probably, like many of us “who have time”, they would stop and think and not continue with the question “So what are you waiting for ?!” because then they would realize that they are waiting for the fog to dissipate.
