RE: A Man Is Thirsty (Redux)

This resonates quite a bit with me because I find myself in a world where almost everyone wants to have kids, kids, kids. And the older folks fully expect me and others of my age to have kids. And I'm asking myself: "Is there no other purpose in life?" I have many other goals and I want to pursue them.

I'm of course fine with people wanting to have kids, but I'm not fine with society's pressure on young people to have kids. This can't be the default choice. It has to be one of many possible options.
