Banyak anak banyak rejeki

"Banyak anak banyak rejeki", that's what 'they' say..
they here refers to Javanese people.

i believe it though, if your kids are cows (or any livestock that you can sell/eat). what i just said may seems rude, but that's what i think of it.

how can you say that having a lot of kids will bring you a lot of fortune?
maybe it's true if your kids are your employee that will help your business.
or all your kids won a lottery n share it with you.
or you sell your kids??? (let's hope not)

even if they are the source of your fortune, don't you think you need to raise them first? n teach then to not forget you when they are wealthy enough?

as a parent we should raise our children unconditionally. never think of getting an advantage out of them. well, that's a good parent.

have kids when you think you are ready, n be responsible for it. some people might just think that having children is a must, an obligation as a married couple, a duty as a human being to reproduce, continuing their family line, passing through their DNA. n maybe also to teach their children what they believe (political views, religion, etc), so that what they believed in will remain, also for the next generation.

when i tell people that i don't wanna have kids yet, what they say in response will be vary depends on what they believed in.

for now i don't wanna have kids, maybe later but not in very near future. but for now, no. there are enough people in this world, enough children. this world is full of them. especially in the country i come from, Indonesia. it's so everywhere.
