LinkPizza 11/24/19 7:12:12 PM #35:	Sahuagin posted... in direct reply to me, when I didn't say anything even approximating the fact that people can't be happy without children How is it a direct reply if you never said anything about people not being happy, then? And actually, it was something I thought of adding on afterwards. It was just an extra thought. So, no. I was not putting words in your mouth. I was stating my opinion... You can see it was edited. I just thought about how many people I know who said that they were happy where they were without kids after posting that. That's all... Sahuagin posted... what I'm saying is not even about actually having kids. my point is that I think there's likely a potential psychological tendency (not for everyone) towards unhappiness without them in your life (any, not just your own). the point being to be aware of this as a potential source of depression, (maybe, maybe not, up to the person), so that you can at least be aware of it, and if you so choose, work towards it somehow; or maybe work harder on being a positive presence in the lives of the children that you do already know. I think there are a lot of people that might not even consider that as a possibility for their depression, but they might find something they didn't realize was there if they know where to look for it. If you're talking about kids in his life, there is one. His niece. He's mentioned her many times. And even said he likes spending time with her until he gets annoyed or tired of her and get his sister (her mom, IIRC) to come get her. So, there is a child in his life. I think many people do know it's a possibility. It's probably why many people do try to have a child to fix relationships or make them happy. Which, from what I've seen, usually turns out bad. But probably good for many other people. I think people should talk to a professional before having kids, though... --- Official King of Kings Switch FC: 7216-4417-4511 Add Me because I'll probably add you.
