In reality, this is a profound human misconception. Children won't save you from death, pal, and it won't make dying any easier, as naive people believe. It just means someone will have to bring you a glass of water and clean up after you when you're old. But that's just a minor detail. In general, children tend to ruin lives. However, I'm not saying that you shouldn't have them at all; I'm just a proponent of strict government control in this regard.

And of course, the meaning of life isn't in them; it's in something else entirely. If you think otherwise, I just feel sorry for you.
