Do you think not having children changes ones experience in life...lessens the experience perhaps?

not necessarily.

by not having children a person has more freedom to have other experiences.
kids are always tagging along.


but yes, you do miss out on the experience of parenting.

Nice, well balanced response.

[McGiver]

although....

i do view most of lifes experiences as simple endeavers....things you try out.

but parenting is a real challenge. 
TBH, half the time i am just clueless.  well, most of the time if i am being totally honest.

Just baiting you for a "parenting makes me an all superior being" response...wondered what your attitude was.

i think it is hard as hell.  but a very rewarding job.

but, what i wouldn't give to not have kids from time to time.
what i wouldn't give to be single from time to time.

everybody always seems to want what they don't have the freedom to have readily.

Grass is always greener...usually it isn't.  But when it is...oh boy, then you are screwed sometimes!

in total, i would say that i am very content with my life.  and to me, contentedness equals happiness.

Yes...it's definitely better not to try and sample something else sometimes was the crux of my comment...
Happy is one of those words that is misused when it is really to describe a singular feeling in a moment...not a state of being.

[Calandale]

How do you feel about the giddy
ecstatic feeling, which has nothing
to do with contentedness?

[McGiver]

orgasm, well that is the height of feeling contented.

[Calandale]

Is orgasm really the only way that you get what I'd
consider happiness? I mean, contentment is something
very different from say the thrill of living on the edge.

when i walk into the babies room and he recognises me and gives me a huge smile.

that makes me feel great.  so i guess that is happiness.

Yes, but ecstasy is intoxicating and addictive for some.

The feelings you describe are emotional ones.

[Calandale]

Exactly what I was thinking.

i see what you are saying.


i really do not view exstacy on an emotional level.  and i am having a hard time putting my mind around calandales view that it is.
