Bringing children into the world 馃實 which is called reproduction has been one generation to generation circle 猸曪笍 due to the need for humanity to continue the process of carrying on with every generation. And this is why humans continue to exist in the world. The simple understanding is that without reproduction , the world at this stage might be without humans.
And apart from humans giving birth for a continuous existence, every generation wanted to have children that will replace and represent them, which is linked to families having offspring of their own to continue carrying their family name , because family is one thing every human desires which entitles having children of their own who will bear the name.
Although, at this stage of the world 馃實, things are taking new dimension. War, hardship, struggle, uncertainties, kidnappings and other crises are causing humans lots of mental problems, which has brought lots of other thinking on how to carry on with life, especially that of having children. So this is where the problems lies. But we should also recollect that our great- grandfathers forefathers, fathers went through many hardships, even more than we have faced and will still face.
The world 馃寧 is so much in chaos that even the government don鈥檛 know how to handle some certain situations like making laws that will help make parenthood a simple and adequate one by having some number of children , which certainly will help parents take good care of them and reduce stress. With proper cordinator from the government, parents will not have more than two children, or even one, since we see children as a gift that brings happiness and at the same, carrying our name into their own generation.
For me I believe its still wise enough for people for people to bring children into the world, but what matters is the number. Although, it might be that the government don鈥檛 want to interfere with number of children parents should have since it鈥檚 personal choices. Why? Because a rich 馃 man might decide he wants to have four (4) children since he is capable of taking care of them properly. Unlike a parent who is not well to do.
So even while we see having children as something we love 馃挄 or want due to culture or family, it is at this era a thing of choice whereby people should check properly to know if they are capable enough to take care of them after bring them into the world 馃寧. And it is not just having babies because of family. People should learn to at least space their children with years. If parents wants to have two children 馃懅, they can space them within 3 year gap, allowing themselves to properly plan for the child. And this can also help their finances grow within this period.
However, it is also not compulsory to have children. I have seen couples, although, with western culture, who got married and decided they don鈥檛 want kids. This is a personal choice which many has decided on. It might be due to health challenges or because they truly don鈥檛 want to go through the stress of child bearing and parenting. I think we are in the era where we should not think that our children are there to take care of us when we are old. The world is full of so much trouble to expect anything.
