This is the answer that someone replied to me facing the question a few days ago.
This reminds me of Herzog, a German film genius, who once made a documentary about Antarctica and met at the end of the world.
Although the director said that he was tired of always telling about penguins, but the Antarctic is still a sign that penguins can't get around. The director posed a question to a scientist who has been studying penguins in Antarctica for years and has become reticent or perhaps reticent, is there any homosexuality in penguins?
When I saw the innocent expression of the scientist, I felt very happy, there was a false illusion that the scumbag could defeat the tyrant.
The next scene caught me off guard.
Most of the group of penguins ran to the sea for food, and a small part returned to the base, but only one stood in place, looking a little at a loss.
Unexpectedly, it ran to the mountain without hesitation.
Those inland mountains were 80 kilometers away, and it must have died on the way before it could reach it. The scientist standing next to it said that even if it was driven in other directions, it would still run towards the mountains, and humans should not interfere with their life processes.
Seeing this passage, I felt a great sadness in my heart. I don't think I'm going to have kids. I couldn't stand idly by and watch him die.
Yes, the most important thing in life is the process, the experience, the ending is not important. However, the child is an independent individual and life. I can't predict whether he will go to the sea for food like most penguins, return to the base or run to the mountains like crazy. Intellectually, I know to respect their choices and freedoms as individuals, but if I watch them go the wrong way, can I just stand by? Maybe the penguin is really happy when it runs to the mountains, and we are the madmen in its eyes?
Or maybe, I am the crazy penguin running towards the mountains in the eyes of others.
May you and I meet at the end of the world.
