Childhoods End

 I think my parents are disappointed that I don't have a girlfriend and kids by now. I think my dad thinks I'm gay and hates me for it. They don't realize that I am so attracted to women that I can't get the nerve to ask one out, and now I'm over forty.

I see how people look at me when I go out to eat with my best friend. They think we're a gay couple. Wrong, I just can't find a woman, and I've got social anxiety disorder. If people want to misinterpret what's going on, they can go ahead and get AIDS. At least it won't be me getting it.

I used to think this was me failing as a human being, but today I've become thankful that I don't have kids. 

I never had to deal with the excruciating inconvenience of remote learning due to covid.

I never had to send a kid to school that might potentially get shot up by some punk teen with a gun. Or gives trenchcoat mafia drills in school in addition to the fire and tornado, just to keep safe.

I never had to send a kid to a school that teaches emotion as fact. 

I never had to send a kid to school that teaches kids it's okay for a kid to have two mommies or two daddies, or that they can pick what gender they want. They now have classes about that.

I don't have to worry about them teaching my kid that being gay is somehow normal, rather than something immoral and unnatural. I view being gay the same as people who have compulsive shoplifting problems, but the schools would actually encourage the abnormality. And try to convert my kids. Glad I'm not dealing with that.

I don't have to worry about my kid growing up too soon, learning about sexuality, especially gay sex, or what gay is, from some stranger at school before they even have questions about it.

 I don't have to fight to keep them on the right moral path when everyone is teaching them wrong.

I don't have to worry about telling my son or daughter not to smoke pot when it's now legal and all over the place.  I still think it shouldn't be legal.  They're not even taxing it like cigarettes. I think it should be taxed out of the public at the very least. But no, it's something kids can easily find out about, just like how there's no way to stop them from accidentally finding adult material on the web.

I don't think I'm in the endtimes or am going to experience it, but I definitely will experience a scenario similar to Childhoods End: Where the country's morality erodes so far away that they will welcome an undisguised Satan with open arms, and allow their children to be made into soulless drones beneath his control.
