I mean, that's a selfish way to look at it.
Problem is, it seems like folks is content with trying to live their 20s forever.
At some point, IMO you're supposed to find a mate, create a stable union and family structure to raise children in, then raise them within the culture, traditions, and value set agreed upon by you and your mate, with the hopes of y'all together nurturing them into responsible, disciplined, stable, productive, family oriented adults, that will carry on your family name with honor, when you and your mate are no longer able to.
As someone that's been married for 13 years, with 5 children, marriage and fatherhood have been far from a walk in the park, but that's not what I got into it for in the first place.
I knew giving up a piece of myself, and dealing with the growing pains of my wife also giving up a piece of herself, for us to jointly create this family would be anything but easy, and I welcomed the challenge head on.
Looking back, I wouldn't change a damn thing.
Being a husband and father gives you a sense of focus and purpose that you will not find as a single man.
You can fool yourself into thinking that your career, toys, and social status are enough, but you will eventually find yourself looking back at all your accomplishments and conquests with an empty feeling, because that's ultimately not what you're here for.
You're here to share your life experiences with a mate, spread your wisdom to your seeds, and raise them with the tools necessary to keep this muthafukka going.
