On motherhood and animals
Motherhood is not a great accomplishment and it never has been. Animals have perfected the art of procreation, for God’s sake. Why should we become egotistical about something an insect can do?
I could not agree more. Because, you know what is really meritorious? Being a mother to an industrious, happy individual that contributes to a healthy society, instead of going around performing the impulses from his primitive reptile brain.
Oh, the above truism was “borrowed” from Violent Acres. Go read it — the rest of the article is fantastic as well.
Come to think of it, the things V say are so elementarily true that they clash with contemporary stupidity. The simple act of pointing these things out in this dystopian society seem subversive. And for that… I dunno whether to laugh or cry anymore.

I´m forced to agree… But you have to take in consideration that humans are able to have feelings (not sure if some other animal can feel the way we do)
That is what make motherhood “meritorious” not necessarily having a good child.
After all there´s people that are proud of their junkie children …
Actually i´m sure that emotions/feeling have way more chance of making your life happy than having 100% rational toughs that make you depressed
Having to remember that we have to have such toughs to not leave corrupt politicians eat ours lives aways :))
