Being a parent has given my life the most meaning. To answer the question "is it worth it?", yes, absolutely - it is to me. I relish having the joy and the responsibility. I just couldn't live without my kids and that's not a statement I make lightly.
Raising, or influencing, children to become well-rounded individuals is surely worthwhile to our own existence and of benefit to wider society's. I know that other things are too, and I do try to follow as many of my desires as possible, but they are less of a priority to me.
I sincerely hope to experience a worthwhile relationship or marriage. I think either are possible to achieve, given the right ingredients. Again, this is part of what I seek in life. I am thankful that I have these choices.
If this thread is to be interpreted on a personal level, then this how I feel. Of course, there are many unique reasons and circumstances concerning my life that have influenced these feelings.
