There is a little truth in all of it. Celibate people can experience contented lives, but it certainly makes almost everything better when you have someone close to share it with. Even now, If I see or experience something special when alone, it isn’t real until I have shared the experience with my wife. Having children can be rewarding or demanding. I have kids who I love and feel blessed to have known, but I often wonder whether I would consider having children if I was starting out now. The current mores and the laws seem designed to raise a breed of little terrorists rather than loving children. Discipline has been almost stopped, yet they still expect children to be controlled, self disciplined and grow into responsible adults. I am not seeing it so far – the opposite seem to be the case.
