[Theory] Why do people have kids

[mogs_me]

for me i don't really buy the nonsense about "i dont wanna be lonely when im older" or "it's just a biological urge"
maybe both are true to some extent but for me it's something more
to me, it seems like a fundamental human experience, it would be a shame to not experience it while you're here. i would like to live as fully as possible (even if my actions dont always reflect this)
also, as an untalented joke, it's the only way to leave any kind of real legacy or feel that you might've made some kind of difference having lived. why this matters, not really sure, I guess just some metaphysical desire or even sense of duty to impart something lasting (hopefully).

that being said, my desire to have kids isn't that strong. but I think that's just due to financial factors. i think that this influences a lot of people really, particularly those of higher conscientiousness. i think a lot of people say they don't want kids because they see it at odds with other experiences, mostly prohibited by money, which is completely valid. unfortunately indians and mexicans and blacks don't seem to share this sentiment
