Jordan Peterson on having children

[@elisabethm9655]

Rabbi, not everyone is meant to have children … those who have no desire to have them or who are physically unable, who are then forced or tricked into bearing them often perpetuate terrible relationships and conditions. To be the child of a parent who never wanted you, who is unable to raise you in a healthy way is a terrible and unnatural curse. They can learn to make wonderful relatives, great aunts and uncles and be part of extended families . They should also be respected for breaking chains of dysfunction and for the wisdom to not just follow the greater pattern when it is not their path.

[@GailHarris-p1f]

Thanks for this

[@Goldenfish-o5p]

And thats fine, just be respectful towards those that wants to keep life alive and well in truth, thanks.

[@elisabethm9655]

@@Goldenfish-o5p - Thank you for your reply. My point was made to respectfully disagree with the blanket assertion that biological parenting is for everyone. While of course essential for humanity, is not essential for every individual. The minority who are not going to be parents also need respect and an equally honorable place within the community. It is the whole community that must bear the responsibility to be fruitful and multiply as a group, not necessarily each person.

My oldest sister and her husband tried unsuccessfully for over 10 years to have a baby. He was interested in adoption but she wasn't. At the time I felt really bad for them but eventually realized they would've made terrible parents. They weren't even that great at being aunt and uncle. God does works in mysterious ways....at least in this case.

Family and good health ❤

[@PersianDollTarot]

Family is a great blessing for you but for me it was a big curse that I had to break

[@mjtheway4ward]

I am sorry to hear that, it is sometimes a sad reality. I hope that your liberation will bring you blessings.

[@danielpaparella186]

Amen❤❤❤

[@j.lsantos9106]

❤ thank you rabbi ❤ wonderful message ❤ Family is important ❤ vital

[@NonnyBid]

I live for my children ❤ I can’t tell you how blessed I feel that I had them

[@JK-sh8rc]

Children are a gift.

[@Marie-h5s]

Children give us the feeling of belonging, of being needed and of being a guide for the next generations. They are a joy, we are able to play as a child, and laugh with each new generation

[@millerbeefarm]

Family is the original holy Trinity. Everyone has a mother and a father, it's the beginning of Life. Unfortunately it's also a huge responsibility.

[@giakolou2876]

The difference is clear rabbi, you’re full of love and positivity and this other guy is mocking rude and full of negativity and anger. He cannot help people in this state. Thank you for spreading the positive message, although not everyone can be blessed enough with a family I do agree that it can be one of the best things in life. 🌞

[@maryw4609]

Personally I think having kids was the most important thing I did in this life and trying to be a good wife mother and friend my kids weren’t perfect but they weren’t bad and pretty good adults thank you rabbi Jacobson I would have been like the woman who lived in a shoe in Vermont kids falling outwindows and doors laughing ❤❤❤🕎🥰

The Bible is full of holy men and women who were single.

I’ve never heard any mystic say that unsubscribed.

[@UnitedDudesofAmerica]

He leaned into that Skyrim meme.

[@miriamlisa]

I personally don’t want children or having roots in general. It’s a limitation for the people that prefer to live fast and comfortable. Plus, as a woman, I wouldn’t ruin my body to bring someone else into existence, when I can dedicate myself to research and actually live in my own name through ages. The only ones that think that having children is an asset are the men who don’t even get involved actively in the family life.

[@PersianDollTarot]

Of course he’s gonna say a family is not a burden to him because he doesn’t have to do anything but pay the bills he doesn’t have to actually raise the kids their whole life or listen to their problems or shape their personality

[@MrsWarriorRed33med]

What?! You make up lies and assumptions. How do so many of his stories involve hes guidance with his children them? Do not bear false witness

[@giocallejas21]

Don't tell me how to live Jordan or anyone. I live a logical life.

[@PersianDollTarot]

If having a family was the greatest thing that ever happened to me than my narcissistic mother would not have left us when I was only five with an alcoholic and abusive father who literally beat me every day and said I was a whore just like my mother even though I was a virgin when you speak on subjects you don’t have experience on make sure you consider all people and all experiences because otherwise you sound like you’re just reading a fairytale

[@gran-fromg-townhola9429]

🙏🙏🙏✌🏼

[@bobbyboucher-mt2kz]

This is why we need to stop paying single moms to divorce.

[@PersianDollTarot]

I don’t care what a man hast to say about having children the majority of women regret it if I was a man I’d wanna have 1 million children too. Most men think that all they have to do is provide.

[@MrsWarriorRed33med]

More lies. I dont know a single women that regrets her children. Even the crappy mom's. You are speaking lies of Satan!

[@Idontknowanything000]

Always feels like Peterson is yelling at everyone. He has such a condescending tone.

[@GailHarris-p1f]

I was unable age 20

[@Goldenfish-o5p]

Sorry to hear 🙏🏽 hope you get the chance of you want again, bless you

[@edcoonce4622]

Aren't some mystics not supposed to?

[@tarotaddicts4695]

It's not for everyone. And we DO NOT, appreciate Mr Peterson. He's a highly toxic man

[@burningbluestar]

JESUS is the way the truth and the life read Daniel 9 and how JESUS fulfills the prophecy of the MESSIAH Now we’re ready to do some math to determine if Gabriel did in fact predict Jesus’s arrival. We’ll start by determining how many days are in 483 lunar years: 360 x 483 = 173,880 days. Next, we’ll convert those days back into solar years: 173,880 ÷ 365.2422 = 476.068 years. After converting the decimal part (0.068) to days (0.068 x 365.2422 = 24.8 days), the time prophesized for the Messiah to arrive comes out to be 476 years and 25 days. Adding this number to March 5, 444 BC-the date on which the decree to rebuild Jerusalem was issued-brings us to March 30, AD 33, the very day of the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. Is this match not remarkable? The remarkable accuracy of the predictions in the prophecy in Daniel [assuming the estimates are correctly interpreted and accurate] supports the truth of the prophecy, which in turn builds confidence in the authority and reliability of the Bible.

Look at all these children that are being killed all around the world and you wanna know why people don’t wanna bring children into it ??? Seriously ? Can you tell this to the Ukrainians and still have a light heart? Or how about all those children in Gaza? ;(

[@Marie-h5s]

For those who think God made them ABCD alphabets and not to have their own children, see your escape for why you are .... ROMANS I including 1:20-32, then regain your rights.

[@collinsukpabi4718]

Jewish rabbi, your response is shallow. Who cares what the mystics say
