Do yo also feel like your purpose in life doesn’t involve having children at all?

JoyfulSilence · 46-50, M
I don't see any purpose to my life.

Sometimes looking back I wonder if the only purpose to life may be just to have kids, and thus by not having kids I missed out on something.

Yet I am too old and tired to find out now. I struggle just to find energy and motivation now, as a single man. Where would I find the strength to raise children? Yet I suppose it would just happen.

Yet the second I hear a squealing child or see a rude teen, I feel so fortunate not to have to deal with it.
I wouldn’t say not at all but it’s definitely not a priority. My friend made this post on Instagram yesterday and I relate to it so much 😆

@Stark There's nothing basic about starting a family
@SW-User it is to me 🤷🏽‍♀️

@Stark I'm saddened. Get that lambo. 😉

Oh yes. We exist for far more reasons than to simply reproduce. Like... to simply live your own life. Grand purpose? Maybe not. I would simply not like to have my money incessently drained in an already shitty economy.

Nah. I wanna shit out maybe one or two.

If the count gets higher, it was probably an accident.

You’d be a good mom, honestly @NickiHijab
NickiHijab · F
aw, that made me smile.
SailorMarz · F
@NickiHijab good.
I'm not sure of my purpose, and it will be too late to eliminate the children part. Lol.
@SailorMarz
Funny, you're the second one asking me today. Yes. It's not a secret just not something I shout out all over the place. Lol.
SailorMarz · F
I didn’t think you were keeping it as a secret. I would have never thought, tho !! Permission to ask more questions? 🤣@SapphicHeart
@SailorMarz
In private yes.

No one knows their purpose, in fact, a purpose can be a multitude of things. I wouldn't worry about it because you will fulfill it regardless.

@Greenbare You act like they were forced to have children. Sometimes i’m mad at them for creating me 🤣

You’re funny

@Greenbare I don't see that. I didn't choose to get born, it was their choice to get kids and even if it wasn't a choice, why would I feel responsible for the choices other people make? Besides, my parents are fine with me not having kids. In fact I'd argue it's better not to have kids in this day and age. There are way too many people anyway.
I feel our purpose in life is to have children but I'll not be having any ,I've worked hard to get in great shape physically and financially ,no children are going to ruin either

It's possible, maybe even likely. But that will not stop me if the opportunity does come around. And the opportunity would have to be mutual.
I see no need to have kids. Nor do I think I'd be a good parent. Also:

I think I adore children but do I have the feeling that I want to bear and raise any no
FeetAreFantastic · 41-45, M
I feel like I (we as a species) don't actually have a purpose.
FeetAreFantastic · 41-45, M
@SailorMarz Well I see no evidence of us having a purpose. I don't believe in God or any afterlife so why would there be a purpose? Does there have to be a purpose? I think this idea is just wishful thinking because people want to assign meaning to everything.
SailorMarz · F
@FeetAreFantastic sometimes i believe in god. Sometimes i don’t

Sometimes i think everything is meaningless...sometimes i think there’s a purpose to it all?

I don’t let myself think of something in only one way, obviously lol. There’s just too many possibilities & theories i have about life. I really do think there is a purpose though.
FeetAreFantastic · 41-45, M
@SailorMarz I guess that's a good way of thinking. Keep all the options open.
