exactly. think about your existence. You wouldn't exist if your parents hadn't met and reproduced, and if their parents hadn't met and reproduced, and so on until you get to our monocellular ancestor. Everyone here is the product of a very long, unbroken line of ancestry spanning back billions of years! If any of those ancestors had not chosen to reproduce, you don't exist. It's mindblowing to me. Actually one of the main reasons I wanted children was to continue this line, why should I be the one to break it?
- matt-attack 3y agoI had a friend who would say the following the middle aged female friends who didn’t have daughters: Did your mom have a daughter? Female answers “yes” Did her mom have a daughter? Yes Did her mom have a daughter? Yes This lineage of course extends beyond even human history back to Proto life forms. And then you end it with “after all that, you’re ending the legacy by not having a daughter”.
