Even if it were the case, there are 99 other elderly patients who love their kids to death. I work in an allied health profession and I’m doing placement at an aged care facility. Not a single one of them ever talks about their fucking jobs, their holidays or time spent with friends. It is ALWAYS family.

“No amount of money ever bought a second of time” is quote from an Avengers movie that I thought was actually really good. When you stop and just think about the quote, everything outside of family seems worthless.

Yes but ultimately, they are still not the same. And if they have their own family, you can bet you’re coming in 2nd place. Family is legacy, it’s your mark left on the world, and the people who have it seem to be at peace while the childless are forever unsettled and confronted with a completely pointless existence.
