Is there anything more selfish than deciding that the world absolutely must have more "you"?

Also, thanks for the judgment of how I live my life without a single clue as to how I actually do. It puts into perspective the basis in fact of all of your other opinions that are dotted about this board like pats in a cow field.

Ray in Houston childless? Selfish t***.
Dick Gregory...never heard of him. Can't be important.

And on and on. It's a very, very clear pattern.

We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football.

I'm talking about self-importance and selfishness as opposed to being less important than your children. In existential terms, nothing is important, or so it might appear. Of course, we don't know the end game of existence, so the relative importance of anything is unknown and at the same time as important as the importance we wish to attach to it. Any one event in the grand scheme might be relatively unimportant or meaningless but that is really just in the eye of the sentient beholder if the universe is a self-organising phenomenon with an as yet unknown outcome. That is too complex a discussion to have here.
As biological entities, most have a preconditioned desire to reproduce and nurture and in that sense, it is as important as anything we do. By having no children it is possible that one's life will seem meaningless, which brings me back to my original point.
