Why? It's not like having a child gifts you with exclusive knowledge that can't be comprehended otherwise.

It does, though.
You can't comprehend what it's like to have children if you don't have them. (And I mean wanted children, not unwanted unplanned accidents.) Same with love. You won't know what it exactly is until you feel it. Or a near-death experience. You can read a lot about them, but unless you have one yourself you don't really know what it is.
As to "what's the point", I don't know either. It's in our nature, I guess.
But what I do know is that I love my son more than anything and it makes my day when he just randomly pops into my room to hug me and says "I love you, dad." It's wholesome and just feels great.
Of course you can live without that. No discussion there.

We'll just have to agree to disagree on that then.
Surely you thought about it before you had your son, but eitherway I'm glad you make him happy enough to say that!

There are a lot of things that don't really have a point, I mean we are on a video game site, literally something that has even less of a point than having children. People have kids because they can and it's been natural to continue with your family for a long time, humans don't want to be alone and like having others to care about or share time. In any case, there are many like you that don't like the idea and it's perfectly fine. Personally having children is not a priority in my life at all at the moment either, but that may change.

Well like I said, you don't specifically need to have kids for that, but I guess that's just not enough, people wanna have it all I suppose.

Eh, I don't like that as a reason, but it makes sense. Though if that's your purpose, what do you do once the kids have grown up?
