Life Sacrifices

In my future, Earth is not doing well. People migrate to other
planets, in return you work for the government for 10 years.
Everything is heavily regulated and you barter with those in power and
you can acquire things to make life easier or prettier. A friend gave
up having children for a fish tank, I did it for a vacuum cleaner,
everybody does this... It's been years since I saw children playing.
We're just cogs in the machinery of this planet, without them there is
no future worth living for.

You should, it's your dream. I borrowed it to push the point that some sacrifices, when made at the expense of the future (children), are not worth the "gains." Thanks for sharing.
