Damn this absolutely hits home. He looks so peaceful. I'm jealous.
As a kid, I had a book about a kid always asking "why?" and at some point, aliens came to conquer the earth. While everybody was freaked out, the kid just continued asking "why?". "To exploit earth's resources" "to conquer other words" "to exploit their resources too" "to conquer other galaxies" "to further our rule" "to conquer... well I see now that it's all meaningless and we go home now."
This is a story every child should read and don't ask me why, it just is.
why?
Allow me to explain it to you in Billy Joel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwSWEJmQgkE
Sick of your shit have I become.
quit having kids. problem solved.
It's a little late for that.
i thought about having kids, but decided i'm too busy doing whatever i feel like with all my spare time and money
all my spare time and money
Do you guys have spare time and money :( ?
Kids are absolutely post main story content. You better have your life in order and your aspirations met because you're about to do some serious compromising when you throw a kid in the mix. I think one of the best decisions of my life was to fulfill my needs before having children.
Kids? In this climate? No thanks!
Hey, never say never! The climate is changing after all...
Insane flex
I don't really think it is. I have a kid, but we felt that way for much of our 20s and into our early 30s.
People shouldn't have a child until/unless they really want a one. If you never want a child, you should never have one. One of many reasons abortion should always be legal.
Children should never be abused or neglected.
I didn't think about having kids, I'm asexual and don't like people.
I can be a backpack while you run
Seagulls! Stop it now.
Classic parenting trick.
"What? I have to raise a couple of problematic force-sensitive twins as a single mother under a tyrannical dictatorship? Sorry but no. Too sad to live"🤷♀️
The same thing, from the Silmarillion:
The love of Finwë and Míriel was great and glad, for it began in the Blessed Realm in the Days of Bliss. But in the bearing of her son Míriel was consumed in spirit and body; and after his birth she yearned for release from the labour of living. And when she had named him, she said to Finwë: ‘Never again shall I bear child; for strength that would have nourished the life of many has gone forth into Fëanor.’
[They try to heal her and even the gods fail at it]
‘It is indeed unhappy,’ said Míriel, ‘and I would weep, if I were not so weary. But hold me blameless in this, and in all that may come after.’
She went then to the gardens of Lórien and lay down to sleep; but though she seemed to sleep, her spirit indeed departed from her body, and passed in silence to the halls of Mandos.
Translation: This little shit has sucked the life from my soul, peace out.
I can't imagine how shit life would be having been part of an absolutely useless Jedi Republic which did nothing to stop fascism, and then having to live in a swamp to raise a hero who will actually end up not really being very good at it, long-term.
Poor Yoda had a shit life, put-upon and thankless.
A puppet I am, Luke. When goes to pee operator does, die I will.
