A different perspective is - why do I need to leave something behind (children or otherwise)? What matters is how I spent the little time I have on this planet, while I am alive, isn't it? Why do I care what happens after I am gone? There are enough things to think about, to work on, while I am alive. As long as I am happy and helpful while I am alive, that seems more important to me than anything else.
- mistermann 5y agoThe human species relies to some degree on people leaving things behind, new discoveries being one of the more important ones. You don't need to leave something behind of course, but the species benefits from it.
