Re: LisaMc
I don't doubt that having a baby is a fundamentally rich and rewarding experience. I hope to do so myself in the future, if I'm able. But I don't think that it is the answer to all of life's problems, and, frankly, I don't think that having doubts about your life experiences and wondering about the meaning of it all is nothing more than "whining." Questioning your life is not a bad thing. It's just part of what makes us human beings with functioniong brains that consistently question our surroundings. Earlier posters have said this better than me, but, hey, worrying about your life's meaning is quite normal.
Also, I'm sure that you didn't intend for it to sound this way, but instructing people to simply "have a baby" sounds a bit flippant and could be considered hurtful to those who lack the biological capability to have children and the facilities/resources to adopt.
