You are going to be mighty lonely when you are in your seventies and all your friends are dead. I hope the memories of your last vacation or useless toy you bought will sustain you then. When you pass, I hope you realize that within a few weeks, people will forget that you ever existed, and you will have no impact on the world whatsoever.
When I am old, however, I will be comforted by may family, and when I die, I will live forever, in the genes of my decendents.
Oh, I love you, too, sweetie!
Unless your kids don’t like you. Really the idea of breeding so you’ll have company in your dotage and genetic immortality is pretty lame, shallow and ego driven. Kind of funny how many people call those without kids egotistical and shallow then throw around their even more egotistical and shallow reason to have kids.
If you wanna have kids great, enjoy them. Not everybody likes kids though. I have never liked kids, I can remember as far back as age 5 clearly preferring the company of adults. Don’t like em, never liked em, never gonna like em. And if you don’t like that TFB.
