something to think about
there is a saying, an heir and a spare.
it is, like so many things, controversial
and also, like so many things, worth talking about
in the poorer countries of the world, not to make stereotypes because it does occur within the more affluent societies as well, all of which most would probably not have heard of, let alone know, lives people who actually conceive following the philosophy of, an heir and a spare. This, needless to say, is one of the saddest understanding of life within the world today. i would include statistics, but most are made up on the spot as well, and sometimes things in life requires things far beyond the boundaries of numbers forming answers to prove theories or existence, sometimes all we need is an open window, to see the world that is hidden beyond the boundaries of our safe and enclosed confinement.
the big question in short is the rightness of conceiving children as a benefit to the other, or simply, whether it is just to have children just in case the first one dies or to somehow support the life of another. who is valued more than? which child is loved more? does not conceiving one child for the benefit of another, a selfish act imposed on the child at birth and a controversy in equality? because if a child exists solely for the benefit for another, if not, in lieu of the other, and the other one dies, would that child matter? and if it turns out to matter, would the death and the once existence of the other child matter the same way? would anything truly matter?
it depends on how you see it and like so many other things in this world, remains answerless, at least for awhile.
