Jesus taught that you should hate your parents, your family and your own life:
"If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple."
Luke 14:26

It doesn't say anything like that in Luke 14. Only to bear your cross and follow him, v. 27. The cross is this cursed existence, full of suffering, pain & death. Jesus was full on antinatalist. He modeled it for his followers. Many are called, few get it.

it is simple honesty, clarity, seeing the world for what it is - seeing attachments for what they are - seeing what "love" means on planet earth - must turn away, repulsed, making one's highest goal to conquer its traps

"Existence is suffering.." - Buddha
It doesn't matter how many ways the wise have told us, the easily-led masses keep buying the happy car commercial version of life ( & now? Boosters for their anti-depressants).
