[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oops, cut off my sentence... *I never felt like I needed to reproduce on the basis of evolutionary human existence or a deep need to experience life to it's fullest. There are many things you've chosen not to do in life that others would think is THE "full point of life and humanity" (for example, proselytizing, suicide bombing in the name of the creator, sky diving, giving up worldly goods to serve mankind, etc).

I’m the poster you’re responding to and I do see what you mean. I guess I meant from an evolutionary standpoint, it’s clearly hardwired into us to want to have kids and then love those kids deeply even though they are, at face value, annoying and too much work. If we weren’t hard wired biologically to want to reproduce and have a baby, our species would die out. So it makes sense that people have strong feelings about how kids are the point of their lives (and how I often feel). I think the other things you mention are more taught to us , rather than Ingrained in our biology. [/quote]
