> You can do all of those things with children, and then you won't be a burden on society (...)
This is entirely dependent on the person. I think you're partially right that nobody will care about you (as much) as your kids (potentially) will.
If you spend your life focusing on yourself, then yeah, nobody will probably care about you. If you spend your life devoted to serving others and making an impact in your community then plenty of people will care about you when you're old. I've known many older people who have done great things for the community and the community gathers together to help them in return.
You affect other people caring about you through your actions.
thanks for your concern, but I'm not concerned :)
> help continue the human race, which is always good.
I disagree, which is part of why I'm not having kids!
The only issue I see is you taking the way others live their lives so personally lol
> Of course you aren't concerned NOW...in 30 or 40 years you certainly will be.
Looks like you've never met people who are happy without having kids. Meet some and come back to me, and I think our convo will be more productive
