The Meaning of Life

OK Joey! I challenge you to a Nietzsche debate. I can't help but think about having babies so that you can cook them on a spit. Why do we have children in the first place. I believe that we have them for all the reasons anyone would tell you. I also believe that in some weird way our children are our afterlives. They carry on what we are into the future. That being said, having children is really an instinctual desire to survive beyond the inevitable. Isn't having babies to eat just a version of the same thing? If the cannibals of The Road could kick out babies like the lady in the Monty Python movie The Meaning of Life they would be well fed. As sick as this sounds, I would rather be the father finding survival for my son at the chance of him living into the future with a piece of me in his heart.

P.S. I know this great BBQ place on Colfax.
