"Now, as for "disobedience"...that's a bit of a stretch, isn't it? Who exactly am I being disobedient towards? "

To yourself and all of those generations of predecessors who made you. All those parents and grandparents who sacrificed to bring you about wasted their time when it came to your turn.

Really happy for you that you travelled a lot. So did I, but the Marine Corps covered the travelling expenses and I still managed to have several worthy descendants anyway.

To yourself

So...by not having children, I'm disobeying a command I gave to myself. It's odd, I don't recall giving myself such an order...any idea exactly when I do so?

and all of those generations of predecessors who made you.

I also seemed to have missed the part where my great-great-great-great grandfather commanded every one of his great-great-great-great grandchildren, "Hey! I need some great-great-great-great-great grandkids. Get crackin'!"

My parents are still around, mind you...and they don't have the slightest problem with the fact that I don't have kids...so your premise that my predecessors (of which my parents certainly qualify) wasted their time seems flawed at best.

Really happy for you that you travelled a lot. So did I, but the Marine Corps covered the travelling expenses

Thank you for your service. Having a received a medical discharge from the Army shortly after volunteering, I've had to cover my expenses myself.

Good for you! (and no, that's not sarcasm) To each their own, yes?
