Why one should have babies?

Darwin, the father of evolution believed every coming generation to be advanced, genetically more evolved than its previous one. After all evolution is about getting better with passing day. The universe is evolving so are all beings so that the coming tomorrow is better than the passing today. This can be seen practically, when one sees these days a two year old child easily operating a computer, mobile phones and other such technologically advanced devices. Accept it or not, our children are going to be born more intelligent. They're going to be smarter. We would have experience, but our minds would not be as sharp as they are today. We will age and with time, our kids will grow. They'll learn new things, do things and give birth to a complete new world.

 
In India, most people get married and have kids without much thought. Getting married doesn't mean one should start producing babies! Marriage is a life long companionship where you promise to hold on to each other through thick and thin whereas having babies is a completely different story.

One should understand the responsibilities of having a baby. A baby holds the key to the future. How you shape the key decides which door you will open. A baby, depending on how you bring him up would help either construct or destroy the world. We all should strive to give our kids such education and values that the world may value their presence.

In ancient times, a mother would inculcate such values in her child that her child contributes to social change and progress. Failure to follow the values was met with harsh consequences. If a son disgraced the family, his parents would disown him. In the movie "Mother India" , Nargis punishes Dutt with her own hands when the village girls report his misconduct. In the end she even kills  her son for becoming a thug. Similarly, Yashodha ties up Krishna, beats him up when the gopis complain about his mischievous behavior.
All such actions of a mother were efforts to give this world a better creation. Maybe as an individual, you failed but when you have a kid, it's like getting another opportunity to do things right. Being a good parent and helping your kid become a good citizen is leaving behind a trace of goodness in the world.
You google any person, their parental history is always carried through the page. So, being a parent, life gives you another opportunity to leave a good mark behind.


Imagine your life after college, working in an office. You have been living a monotonous life. Office, work, hanging out with friends once in a rare blue moon. Life in office, is a completely different world. Whereas in college seventy five per cent attendance used to infuriate you, hundred percent attendance in office is going to kill you! When your friends will be free, you may not be and well vice verse would occur too.
Life stops holding meaning. It is difficult to leave behind a world full on fun and enter a world of non stop professionalism. Yet you have to, no slack there mate!
After some time your life will be filled with a monotonous routine. Get up, eat, rush to office, eat in between, come back, eat and sleep. A time would come when everyone will push you to marriage, you would jump the wagon, hoping for the best. Early years of married life are always spicy. Two people living together, getting to know each other, everything is new like the green of spring. A child's foot steps are all it needs to complete your life.

As the kid enters your life, you would get to see things from a different angle. Your child's growth would give you another chance to grow along. All things would be different. All methods would be different. Teaching your kids would be a challenge then. Accept it, sit with them and learn with them. New books, new syllabi, many modifications, would awaken all the old memories of school days, making you nostalgic and before you'll know, your life would be filled with a new breath!

Make your child your best friend and I bet, your life would not turn amazing! Grow with them, understand them at their level.  They will open up to you and disclose many a naughty incidents that will set you laughing. Trust me when your children would enter their teens, life would be, all the more interesting. This is the age when we ourselves have learned more. One turns inquisitive and a need to grow up, rises. You just need to be a little extra cautious here, because this is when the temper shoots up, mood swings occur, a "I know how to live" kind of attitude pops in! A little pause here to recollect your own days would make it easier for your kid, and you to get along. From here on, it all depends how you bring your kid up and what all he faces in his life. He may trust you if you're cool (means you are not too judgmental and parental) or may be he won't. Depends on a lot many things. 

Life would be amazing with a kid around, even if you would not be able to participate in his decision making, you would still have a chance to guide him through his mistakes. I hope you would grant your child the right to make mistakes and let your esteemed comments flow only when they are needed(specially during the rebellious states)!

With kids around, life would be an ever evolving experience. Trust me having babies, or adopting a kid would be a decision that would change your life for the best!
