I may not be living to pass down a legacy for my own kids, but I do hope that one day I will have made their lives better.
This was part of a conversation today I had with a colleague. Maybe because we grew up with a culture that had kids, we still value it. What about if your nieces and nephews don't have kids?
That's their decision or the universes. If they don't end up having kids, I hope they at least go on a nice trip with whatever my wife and I are able to leave them.
Yeah, I mean, what changes in culture when more people are raised without children in sight at much at all? You and your wife don't have kids, but you have been surrounded by kids all of your life. I think that if we weren't, it would have an impact on how we perceive them and, potentially, how we think about the future. If "children are our future" and we don't have many, what then?
Then we better start figuring something else out I guess. :)
