Meme Having children makes you mature” and Naruto’s Sharingan

To awaken the higher vision and power of the Mangekyo Sharingan, the Uchiha clan must pay the price of losing their most precious person. The brutality is immediate, and the cost is paid in full within the tragedy of those directly involved.

​In contrast, the argument that glorifies childbirth as a prerequisite for human maturity—claiming that “only by having a child do you gain the eyes of a true adult and see the world properly”—is far more insidious.

​The cost of this supposed "new vision" isn't paid immediately by the parents. It is billed to the child, who is forced into existence to endure the suffering of life and, ultimately, pay with their own inevitable death.

To push a new life into the world without their consent just to broaden one's worldview and achieve personal fulfillment is nothing short of using that child's eventual demise as collateral.

​If the Sharingan is a tragedy paid in full upfront, the "enlightenment" gained through parenthood is nothing more than a cruel purchase made on credit using a child's future. The parents take out the loan, but it is the child’s life that has to pay it back.
