I can’t stop cigarette smoke from seeping in to everything in my home if I leave the windows open. Also, smoking is not a necessary part of life. You can’t live silently.
It’s not the same.
The sound of children playing is a normal part of human life, inseparable in fact from life.
The smell of cigarette smoke is neither.
It is not possible for the human species (or any form of mortal biological life) to exist without children.
If you want to try to define the latter observation of reality as “abnormal”, fill your boots.
- civilisation is currently more at risk from overpopulation than depopulation
- just because children need to exist doesn't imply they need to exist in apartment buildings
- just because children exist doesn't imply that they need to play outdoors on balconies
- just because children exist doesn't imply that there can't be limits on how much noise they can make, and when
etc etc
Boy am I glad I grew out of that mindset.
Do you smoke? These comparisons are quite odd unless you don’t realise just how strong the smell is.
Are those who smoke on a top floor balcony also awful? Are those who smoke on a balcony of a multi-storey building they live alone in also awful people?
