So why would anyone want to do that then?
I dunno. Here's some possibilities, though:
Because there's more to life than a low stress level?
Not much.
Because you did a favorable cost-benefit analysis?
Enormous costs and intangible benefits that sound like members of a
cult :)
Because you don't know how to properly apply a condom?
Because if no one did it, we'd be extinct in about a hundred years,
give or take a decade or so? :)
I won't be around then anyway?
Heck, I figure if someone knows himself well enough to realize he'd
make a lousy parent or that when push comes to shove he just can't be
arsed putting his energy into child-rearing, that saves society a
great deal of time and money. For the rest of us, I suppose we just
suck it up and deal.
Why?
