Do you think people have kids for good reasons? By that, I mean, do they have kids for unselfish reasons? I think they rarely ever do, especially these days. They do it because they enjoy sex and bam! That's a baby. In fact, that's why I'm here. I was watching that awful movie Juno a few weeks ago and I was struck by that scene in the mall where Jennifer Garner's character is absolutely baby crazy and talking to Juno's developing fetus. I was struck by her selfishness. "Me, me, me! I want a baby!" That's one of the things I hated about that movie. Everybody in it was a selfish hedonist, just like parents are in real life. Do people ever have kids for unselfish reasons?
I don't think people do anything at all for unselfish reasons. You only do things because of how they affect you personally. I think that it is an illusion that makes us think that we actually do things unselfishly. We are all selfish. Not that there is anything wrong with that I just think that's the way it is.
You opened your post with "I don't think people do anything for unselfish reasons..." then concluded with " We are all selfish..." Forgive me if this this seems contradictory.
No I don't think so. I used a double negative in the first sentence so that was bad grammer on my part, but they both mean the same thing don't they.
I'm going to educate my children, and they'll have children and educate them and grandchildren and we're going to out number all of the scum and in a couple of hundreds of years everything will be different
They make good footstools and terrific little slaves. Mother: "You.. first child.. get me the remote".. First child: "Yes Mummy".. Side table's a bit tricky. Haven't trained them to stand still long enough yet.:bawl:
What other reason would there be to have sbildren other than for selfish fulfillment??? I'm going to have a kid someday and educate him and train him to TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!!
