I think it would be good for more people to have more kids I don't think it would be good for anybody to have kids who doesn't want to I think most who don't think they want to are actually: - confusing fear for lack of desire - rationalizing some external meme as their nondesire
I also don't think anybody should have kids WHILE they're in this particular state of confusion and I'm not intending to sow self-doubt. on the contrary, I'm saying "listen & discern your own fear, desire & received-knowings... and holding all of these together, consider."
(& I'm not claiming that for each person, that if they reflect in this more integrated way, they'll conclude they want to have kids!)
oh or another reason someone might not have a sense of wanting to have kids was that they haven't met a person they'd wanna have kids with yet. that seems to me like totally a thing! (my desire to have kids went from "hmm probably" to "omg yes" that way)
