Who's to say one perspective is better than the other? I have run into a lot of people who are parents but have little regard for the value of life -- their own, their children's, anyone's. |

There is NO meaning to life. That is the Devine Riddle--that we are sensient beings, self aware and capable of asking such a perplexing question about our own existence...just a cruel joke...perpetrated by an infinately ironic universe.

By and large, Lex, what normally happens when a person becomes a parent, something changes. They look at this poor, helpless little creature that they took part in creating, realizing that this new life cannot sustain itself on its own, so they are responsible for making this new life into a "person". It's a swelling of pride, a realization that they have done their part in perpetuating the human species. As a result, a typical parent wants to do everything they can to make sure their new child never wants for anything, as much as they can within their means.
It's rather tough to describe. I know you don't have any children of your own, and it really can't be explained. It's something you have to experience on your own, and believe me, you'll know it when you experience it. |

I have children who have brought meaning into my life so I personally agree with that thought but I would only hope that those who do not have children have meaning in their life too.
I just had a man view my profile who's headline read " Looking for the meaning of life" Should I tell him to have children? |

It's something you have to experience on your own, and believe me, you'll know it when you experience it. Well, I decided early on that I was never going to be a parent. It's just not something I want in my life. I don't think that this single decision somehow disqualifies me from having a valid view of "what life means, what the world means." Frankly, I find that attitude a bit condescending. |

Frankly, I find that attitude a bit condescending. I made no inference as to not being able to have a valid view of what life means or what the world means. I was just attempting to describe what it feels like when one becomes a parent, knowing that you have no children of your own. No condescension was intended, and I apologize if any was inferred. |

it is possible to have a fulfilling life without bearing children..some people are able to define their lives beyond the confines of being a "parent"...
your comment is insensitive towards all those people who wish but can not have children... |

Y'know what? Forget I even said anything. Why bother trying to explain something when it's just going to be ripped apart and twisted from its original meaning?
