6. Think Even Harder about Having Kids
慎重考虑要不要小孩
One father had this to say about children: “They’re a huge source of joy, but they turn every other source of joy to shit. In fact, having children correlates with both an increased sense of purpose in life and a long-lasting decrease in individual and marital happiness. Having kids means spending a lot of your short life and limited income on one source of joy.
有个爸爸是这么说小孩的:“小孩是巨大的快乐之源,但他们也把其他的快乐之源全毁了。 其实,有了小孩之后,一方面会使生活目标更明确,但另一方面,也会使个人及婚姻幸福感持续不断下降。养育小孩即意味着把你短暂的人生和有限的收入全部奉献在这唯一的快乐之源上。
It’s not a bad decision. But it’s also not the only good decision you can make. We want to think we can “have it all but, in fact, it’s a zero sum game. You have only so much time and money and there are lots of ways to find satisfaction, pleasure, and meaning in this life. Consider all your options.
