No, Your Children Won’t Have a Better Life Than Yours
<p>Myyounger cousin recently had a baby girl. She named her Francisca Francis in English.</p>
<p>For a moment, I was happy, and I sent her a text wishing them all the best. I must confess, however, that a more irrational part of me did so while also wishing to be myself a mother.</p>
<p>But I know that probably won’t happen.</p>
<p>Not only because I have trouble conceiving but even more so because anyone in their right mind knows that the world Francis has just been born into is a much more hostile place than the one I was born back in 1990.</p>
<p>As such, it’s easy to wonder why I would even want to have a baby when it will be living in such harsh conditions in the first place. <strong><em>How can we have such a tremendous desire to generate life when even our own future isn’t assured?</em></strong></p>
<p>These are issues that my conscience won’t let go of, or I wouldn’t be 33 and in the supposed prime of life to be a mother.</p>
<p>You see, If I didn’t see it in my life before, today, the typical idea of parents and children all together as a family is something I fantasize about as being one of the synonyms of happiness I would want for myself. <em>We still have the right to dream, don’t we?</em></p>
