I wouldn't ever judge anyone for not wanting children (except for thinking that you are out of your right mind). All I know is that my life is rich because of my kids.
When you are young you are the rebel that breaks away from your parents, setting out to conquer the World.
When you are grown you are independent making it on your own. Children are just ballast and a nuisance.
And then your parents grow old and eventually die. Where are all your high-school and party pals then?
And at some point you grow old, too and then you are all alone. Or do you think you are gonna hang out with your college buddies high-fiving at the retirement home?
No, my friend. It's about family. We are tribal beings. Blood is thicker than water. My dad passed away peacefully yesterday, bless him. But not before I told him that I loved him. THAT is what life is about.





I can see where you're coming from, and see why some people would want that lifestyle... but that doesn't mean it's the rule for everyone.

People want differant things out of life I suppose.

I think 'success' is kind of like a misnomer anyways.

having a big house and a mortgage and a steady 9-5 and a minivan and a bunch of little uglier, smellier versions of me is not what I define as success for myself. If thats your thing, and you love it, then awesome, I'm very happy for you. But thats not what I'm into right now. success is more an atitude than something people recognize within you.

Do you think kurt cobain was successful? I sure as shit dont. Look what happened to him. He couldnt reconcile his life, so clearly he wasnt very successful. I mean in some superficial respects, but really the 90's was a horrible period for music, so dont give him too much credit :lol:

EDIT: Also, as much as it's totally awesome you guys want kids and stuff, it's not the only way to have family. I consider many of my friends family and yes, I will be high-fiving thos bitches in the old folks home. I'm not going to get into it right now, but really the world is overpopulated as shit, and you cannot deny the impact that is having on the planet. Success to me is honestly making it to the grave without having fathered a single soul. I mean the whole point of meditation, psychedelics, some would argue art, poetry, music and life itself is to reconnect back with the source. bringing more beings to suffer on the world is getting farther and farther away from the source. JUST MY LIFEVIEW, NO NEED TO DEFEND YOUR KIDS I THINK IT'S TOTALLY AWESOME YOU GUYS WANT KIDS AND ARE HAPPY. Honestly if I end up having kids(by choice or not), I will love them with all my heart and soul, I'm not saying I dont like them at all. I'm extremely close with my family and I totally recognize how important that connection is






My views taken right out of my mouth. My girlfriend and I both share the same views on life.

I just want to tell you all that I'm so glad I found this place, Shroomery. There seems to be an underlying theme among all of you (us); that you're aware of a deeper meaning to life that can be discovered from within.





And as we move forward though, it is possible to realize that this theme of searching for understanding is manifest throughout all of human society, not just in psychedelic explorers. The raft is not the shore. There are multiple ways to experience the mystery, and some of them are completely irrational to our own modality. But we should respect their existence. As the Tool song goes, "Right" in "Two". It is us who split the world into two, and split human factions in two, and our different purposes into two. But there is also truth in "two," or multiple, perspectives.

Of course, as we move further down the rabbit hole, eventually a little elf will come along and whisper that outside is inside. External is internal, and deep is shallow; that it's more about the wave than the ocean.

But believing everything is separate and different has been instrumental in allowing us to eventually see it's all the same.

This is Alan Watt's reference to hide and seek.
