It isn't a viable alternative. Each of us has only one life.
Personally i don't have children either, but there are millions out there who, as you say, deserve better and their world will be better in some ways. Our world is better for more than it was in the Viking's time.
You are you. Each other is no more than that.
Sorry about your lion. She will adjust.
One and only life, so a relatively healthy longevity is valuable too.
Enjoying whatever helps, as long as you know it doesn't unfairly hurt others. Stress kills, screw it.
I had 2 daughters. The older passed away unexpectedly at the age of 34. The younger is awaiting trial on drug charges likely to spend a great portion of her life in prison. I still give a fuck about the world!
I was filling my truck up this morning before gas jumps to $10 bucks a gallon. A young lady approached showing me $3 dollars and change in her hand and explaining she hadn't budgeted well for a trip to get home to Casper, WY. I thought about my daughter who would blow her money on cigarettes and booze, then gave the young lady $20 dollars and told her to have a good year! I still give a fuck about the world!
