direction and meaning |
a question thats come up a lot lately is what the hell to do with your life once you decide not to have kids.
first, let's acknowledge that we exist to reproduce.
its every living thing's sole purpose on this planet.
its the one thing we are designed for, aside from survival.
the reproductive system is the only system of organs that we dont require for survival.
we are here on earth to propagate our species.
and it is funny, what a warped, distorted interpretation of that comes out of our society -each society, really. but you can stop asking yourself why there's so much sex in the media. why does sex and violence sell? because we are designed to reproduce and defend ourselves from predators.
that shit sells because its in our genes.
sex and fear resonate with us on a bio-chemical level.
but i digress,
how do you give your life meaning once you decide not to propagate?
in this society, we can mostly live without needing to fight for our life.
of course, some people still act those feelings out in various sublimated ways...
and you can still act on the primal urge to plant your seed.
but what do you do with the other 23 hours in a day?
is it possible to fill the psychological void left in you by the lack of children to take care of?
