There are a lot of threads and a lot of texts saying that THE ONLY WAY for a woman to be TRULY HAPPY is by marrying and having kids. I don't disagree in part, I think family life is amazing. But at the same time, these people completely ignore that not everything happens according to the plan and that most people walking in this Earth is not happy, despite having a "family". How many fathers are depressed? How many families have mentally ill members? Suffering is inherent to the human condition, and even if some state that "having kids" is the path to happiness, than, they have to assume that "not having kids" is one of the billions of suffering happening in the World. Where are these men when some woman gives birth to a child with an incurable disease? Not having kids is one of the least pernicious miseries, because the suffering ends there.
