Women who refuse to have children and men who forsake their responsibilities as fathers will be the downfall of our civilization.
We all owe an incalculable debt to the generations that came before us, and the only way we can pay back any portion of that debt is to pay it forward. It’s not enough just to “make the world a better place”: we must, ourselves, become a link in that generational chain that connects humanity’s past with its future, binding the fathers to the children and the children to the fathers.
I recognize that there are women who cannot have children, or who do not have the opportunity to have a healthy family of their own. I also recognize that there are fathers who want to be present in their children’s lives, but are deprived of that opportunity by forces outside of their control. I’m not talking about those people.
I’m talking about the people who have every opportunity to raise a family, and deliberately choose not to. In their selfishness, those people are unwittingly depriving themselves of the fulness of the human experience. More importantly, their selfishness is destroying our culture, our society, and our civilization.
If the West falls, it will be because of childless women and absent fathers.
