I am quite proud of my accomplishments in helping to achieve not only my personal goals, but in contributing to bettering the performance of my clients. I would say that I have achieved alot in my 29 years. No, I have never gone off to war, nor have I saved a bunch of schoolchildren from a burning building. Nevertheless, I DO NOT need a wife and rug rats to PROVE anything.
No question about it, and that has never been questioned. But it was rather telling that you do not realize that, throughout history and across cultures, one typically did all that AND had offspring. A successful deviation from easy to difficult is a justifiable source of pride, wouldn't you say? But the converse is not true. If you, as many others in modern Western society, reduce your accomplishments -- from personal/professional AND having offspring to personal/professional only --- whence the feeling of pride? As I said earlier, one can fall down or remain in a natural state without effort.
Nevertheless, I DO NOT need a wife and rug rats to PROVE anything.
And that is the most telling part --- that you confuse the ability to love, share and give life with proving something.
Very sad.
God,you're only 29----take your time.
My father-in-law married at 45(to a 28 year old) and he fathered eight children.
I have a single 39 year old son who says he is using his grandfather as his role model.
