Nobody should be judged for not wanting kids.

Maybe we could judge ourselves though.

I mean not having kids would feel like a massive letdown to my ancestors. Obviously we will never know, but its something I kept thinking about for a long time. They survived plagues and various diseases that had no cures or treatment. They probably had to suffer through low crop yields, unsuccessful hunts and other famine-related periods. Probably had to fight or run away from bandits who would literally cut your throat over pieces of bread or salted meat, and maybe even from Sabre tooth cats and wolves, if you go back far enough. And of course it mustve been difficult to worry about all that and then look for a mate.

Now we have an abundance of food available on practically every street, medicine isnt perfect but its better than its ever been and sex is casually available. But we wont have kids because it does not sound fun. For sure, its a personal choice and everybody has that right to decide either way. I just cant shake that feeling that it would be a letdown for all that your bloodline had to go through up until this point in time.
