We don’t have to.

But that doesn’t mean I’m going to stand by and let you (or anyone else in your mentions) shame people into having children as if it’s the only way to live a fulfilling life (as you have done in previous posts). Expect me to respond.

Make babies

Make art

Make money

Make love

Rescue animals

Protect the environment

Protect the vulnerable

Read literature

Push science’s boundaries

Travel the world

Climb mountains

Explore the ocean

Write songs

Write books

Write code

Study maths

Visit libraries

Appreciate music, poetry, sunsets, sunrises, friends, or community.

Don’t tell anyone that there is only one way to have a fulfilling life.

Nah. Children are the meaning of life. The end.

The fact that you can read my post and come to that conclusion demonstrates a paucity of value in your life.

As any parent knows, it actually indicates how much I love my kids and how paltry everything else seems in comparison.

This logic is true.

This is true.. I too once was a naive, childless dork. Then I grew up and became a father myself. New perspective on life for real.

That’s fine, for you. Don’t lecture or condescend or presume or that it’s the right fit for others.
