Why do people breed?
That's the question of the day today for me. I see a lot of people having kids, and not really liking it. Some aren't really fit to be parents, and some just plain don't give a damn even though they follow a careful script. The last bunch simply have too many kids and not enough income to support them at all. I find it odd though, after hearing about nine hours of bitching from individuals around me about kids, and when I pose the question "Why did you have kids?" they go blank, and then muster up some lame excuse.
Some state it was an "accident" and others state "to make my husband happy" or "because I did not want to miss my chance" and I think hard...and then I sigh...then I realize none of the people around me actually wanted kids at all, they just kind of "had some" at some point. I cannot fathom doing this. The lack of preparation, the mass stupidity, and general non-recognition of what the hell they were doing as "big acts" but it dawns on me this is the case nine times out of ten with humanity.
It is a wonder though that humanity hasn't been gobbled up by the evolutionary cycle. There's no license to have babies, and I do not know if there should be one - sometimes I think there should be, but I do not want to imagine a fine for having a kid or imprisoning someone's accidental parent, or worse forcing an abortion. In total though I see that people do not really rationally think - and even rationality can go out the window that would be ok - IF you can substantiate it. However, I can't. Not even one person said "Instinct" or "Because I was built to have them" or "to keep my genetic heritage going" etc, etc. Not one.
So either they are too prideful to admit they are that genetically shallow, or they never have fathomed to think down that path at all. In either event, it seems a bold lie that the people at my work place desired kids with any sort of predestined "goal" at all.
