We didn't 'choose' - but having a child was the best accident that ever happened to us. I had a miserable childhood, and having an awesome and joyous time with our three children has redeemed my hurt - it's part of my memory, but no longer important. Having kind, wise, and creative children has given me hope for the world that comes after me - and I'm grateful that have the responsibility to raise them. It's also helped cured many of my neurosis - I don't procrastinate, I set goals, I get up in the morning, I'm not a gloomy pessimist and I'm not at irrationally angry. And even though children are expensive - I'm richer because I have better character traits. My kids saved my life by taking my own greed for my own life away from me - I live for them and my wife. I never knew that existed.
