Anyone remember that great Frankish family that lived in the north of modern day France, 3,000 years ago? They had many children and they were farmers that lasted for a hundred generations. Great people, they grew excellent wheat that made good bread and the men were known as good wood workers.
Their family died out about 200 years ago.
Anyone remember them?
No, no one cares after a few years.
Do you remember the people from 500 years ago? 1,000? 10,000?
Sure we might remember a name or title like Alexander, Genghis Khan, Charlemagne, Ramses, Ceasar or Mughal … but aside from their name we don’t know anything about them.
Our names and families no matter how big will be treated the same in a thousand years … we’ll all just become a nameless mass of humans that existed.
And if we all understood that, maybe we’d treat each other a little better
Can I tell her that most experts expect the world population to nosedive and the vast majority of bloodlines to die out over the next 200 years? The human experiment took a wrong turn.

Someone tell my mom that. Apparently it’s the most important thing in the universe to start a family.
