Since time immemorial people have been saying this.
There has never, ever been a time of total peace when the world looked bright and happy and hopeful for many.
It is what it is, and you are wise to just accept it and get on with life according to your own inate desires: to have or not have children.
As we move away from generations of religious and other persuasions to procreate, more young people who are absolutely not child-orientated are feeling they can say 'no'. Wonderful.
There are far too many children and adults in this world who are suffering from the realisation their parents should never have had them.
It leads to feelings of alienation, bitterness, resentment and all the terrible fall-out those emotions can generate.
