Why would I be feeding pigeons? I'm very healthy, and there's stuff like HGH, steroids... which I believe will have great anti aging effects if used correctly. By that I mean that I won't "age" as quickly of course.
I don't understand something as absurd as saying they're like dogs.
I'll try explaining this in a simplified way-
First off, you have to realize, that what is our fuel for life are our basic, natural emotions, instincts. Intellect only helps us achieve that, which we want. Everybody wants slightly different things, and these things change with time and are also effected by the world we live in.
Everything we wish to achieve in life, is somehow connected to these natural needs we have. One of the most important things is reproduction. This is evolution - those that did not reproduce (which are also people who chose not to have children, especially at this age) died. Hence, we are the children of those, that chose to reproduce, and thus we with all likeliness, we have a basic need for reproduction too, as well as other needs that our parents did.
The need for reproduction, is as natural as our need to live. That's simply the way it is, people want to have kids, that's just the way we are.
Now obviously there are exceptions. There's also people who suicide. There's also people who don't want relationships. It's not very common though.
The fact that there is so many males that don't want to have kids, makes me believe that there is just a fault in their thinking. Our natural needs that we are born with are still the same as they've always been, yet there's this sudden change in the last century, of Europeans and other developed countries, not wanting kids. We haven't changed, there's only a flaw in our thinking, and for some reason many now value a hedonistic style of life more. We aren't living in a natural way, and it is the natural way that is the truly fulfilling and enjoyable way of life.
Again, there are exceptions, but there is too many of people like this, so I doubt all of them are exceptions - most of them are simply thinking about it wrong... I don't know, it might be the rational thinking that got us to this. "How should I live my life? Well having fun makes sense", when in fact "How should I live my life? I should live the way I feel I should" would be the more correct answer.
Ok, I'm just writing stoned **** right now. To sum it up, loveshogun, you're looking at kids too much as some sort of thing that is supposed to be fun, like an additional thing in your life that will make it somehow more fun. That's not their point, they're simply a thing we want to have, because that's what humans are like.
I also don't know whether saying "I need a kid to validate my existence." is correct. It's not about that. People simply want kids. It's not philosophical, that's just the way it naturally is.
I wanna laugh. I wanna eat. I wanna sleep. I wanna ****. I wanna have a lot of kids. There's no reasoning behind why I want these things, that's just the way it is.
