My brother has kids. On one hand it is nice to see them grow up and experience childhood. On the other hand, I feel a profound sadness, knowing that their childhood and adolescence are only fleeting, that they will one day be stressed out adults with soulless jobs and money problems. It genuinely kept me up last night, knowing that it won't last, knowing that they won't understand what they have until it's gone, knowing that none of us can ever go back to those days once they're over. How do we all deal with it? How do we ignore it?
>>34323876Time is worth everything. Don't waste it
>>34323876You can help teach them that stuff. Maybe they will be ahead by the time they’re where you’re at.
Everything's a choice, make the right one and don't lose everything that matters. That's why I stick to the path with my girl
>>34323898I do enjoy the time I spend with my girlfriend. It is the bright light that keeps me going.
>>34323880I didn't listen to much advice when I was younger, but maybe they will.
>>34323915It's that way with my girl soon enough
>>34323920I listened to that advice and life is pretty great. I'm healthy, not addicted to any substances, and I have property plus investments. See if you can get those kids a good start anon.
Play with them. At least they'll have a happy childhood unlike some of us
>>34323876You're projecting sadness, stress and negative energy on some random, innocent little kids. Im glad you're not my brother. That's the adults YOU know or have been around, every adult doesn't live like that.
>>34323876>How do we all deal with it? How do we ignore it?This is life in the universe, anon. The consolation is that we're incredibly lucky to live in a day and age where children are even capable of making it through adolescence without starving, dying of a preventable illness or getting trampled by a horse. Even if they ended up being stressed out and stuck in soulless jobs they'd still be better off than 99% of humans ever born and 99% of all organisms in the galaxy. Its not too bad being alive. Many moments make the stress worth it. Expand your perspective and quit focusing on the way things suck. Strive to support and love people while they're here.
>>34326006>That's the adults YOU know or have been around,well familial patterns repeat, so if op is this neurotic his brother and father can't be much better.
>>34323876You are supposed to raise people right so they can be winners. You are already in the west, that's a good start to have, if you can just teach them the value of hard work and delayed gratification they might have a good life
>>34323876are they being raised Christian? if not, there will be a lot of stress and worry. if so, they will have the tools to understand.
>>34323876I feel it every day for my own kid. I know they'll encounter hard shit in life I already know some of it will be their fault too, some of it won't be. They'll make lots of failures but they'll make successes. All I'm focused on is making sure my kid has fun as a child, forgiveness and a someone to trust as a teen, and encouragement and whatever wisdom I can share for when they're adults. It's all I can do or anyone can do. Also I agree with this anon: >>34327353Christianity is what kept me from going off the rails. I never appreciated it, never even identified as one and went atheist most my teens and twenties, my upbringing was really hard, lots of bad shit happened at home, despite my parents being Christian they had worldly problems that eclipsed things. Had it not been for faith though I doubt I'd have survived the upbringing, in grateful my parents at least instilled that much in me.
>>34323920>I didn't listen to much advice when I was younger, but maybe they will.Kids and teens never listen to their parents. The ones who seem like they do only perform as "listening" lol. They stand their and nod and say "yes sir" or "yes ma'am" but the words go in one ear and out the other. They do that to avoid further discipline or nagging, cuz the kid wants to go back to chasing dopamine around like a butterfly, back to their toys or their videogames or their bicycle or whatever it is that keeps them entertained.Kids don't listen to what momma and pappa say, never have. But they pay very close attention to what momma and pappa do, or don't do. Kids imitate actions, they do it without even thinking. That's why parents should embody the thing they tell their kids to do or don't do. If dad is shouting at 13 year old son for smoking a cigarette at school, that dad should check to see if he has a cigarette in his own hand while he raises his voice at his son.

>>34327693Being a slave is no worse than being a target.
