Because "A society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they shall never sit" - Greek proverb

If we don't cover the things that our children (or nieces/nephews) will benefit from, no one else will. There are no adults in the room. It's just us.

What children? I will not have nieces nor nephews because I do not have first grade brothers or sisters. I mean sorry but I don't care.

Then you're a bad person. It's quite simple.

Whatever quality of life you have enjoyed beyond living naked in a cave eating bugs and berries you owe to the people who came before you. Not just your ancestors, but the people who invented tools and discovered natural laws and organized societies and legal systems, the people who built the cities with their sewage systems and hospitals and electricity, the people who developed fertilizers and antibiotics and undergarnments that don't itch like a thousand angry fleas are having a rave in your crotch. And now, after enjoying the fruits of 10,000 years of civilization, you decide that you're the be-all and end-all of people and everybody who comes after you can go fuck themselves? Bad person. Plain and simple.

That is the definition of unbridled selfishness, bordering on sociopathy.

If this is truly what you think and drives how you behave then you are a leech on everyone else that will follow in your footsteps.

I won't have children either, but I still want the world to be better for them, and I do the best within my means to make that happen.

People like you, when they're competent, are the ones that rise to the top of the corporate ladder and own businesses that expound the worst parts of capitalistic society. Greed, selfishness, disdain for the plight of others, no thought for consequences as long as they don't affect you personally.

So, don't care if you don't want to. But internalize that you're a POS if that's actually how you feel.
