Point taken. This should never be the reason why we want to have children. Still, when we do, we can pleasantly discover their magic around us. For once I didn’t even consider before having my son all my mental issues. I am sure many of us are not aware of how off we are until we see the difference; e.g. you never knew how sad you were until you were truly happy, you never knew how empty you were until love fills up every hole in your soul, etc.
The bottom line is we should never have children hoping they will fix us; if that is the expectation then I am sure that we won’t be getting to the point to experiment with what I am describing in my story since the prime ingredient for that is selfless love.
