Quote by Gore Vidal

Never have children, only grand children.

Never have children, only grand children.

Summary

This quote suggests that one should skip the experience of raising their own children and instead focus solely on being a grandparent. It implies that being a grandparent is more enjoyable and fulfilling than the responsibilities and challenges of parenting. This perspective may stem from the idea that grandparents can experience the joys of children without the same level of long-term commitment and daily struggles associated with raising them.

Life is only a brief stop on the road to eternity. Our loved ones, acquaintances, and strangers pass away before our very eyes on a daily basis. Yet each of us carries on with our lives as if we will live forever. This is merely an illusion; of course, as it is an inevitable consequence of life that each of us must die.
