Nature wants us to reproduce whether we want to or not. So, yes, there is a disconnect. But, having sex for the purpose of making a baby is actually pretty amazing.
Not only that, but for every baby that is born, there are trillions and trillions of eggs and sperm in our species history that don't end up in a birth.
I do find life amazing too. But I warn anyone not to be romantic about it. I also find volcanos and earthquakes, and even the potency of cobra venom amazing too. I find space amazing, but I wouldn't go on a space walk and take my helmet off.
I am with you Ahriman. It is one thing for someone who has a baby to be happy, but I get annoyed some parents always want to act like everyone should do it. Like the argument over pineapple on pizza, or mushrooms or anchovies. Good for you(not you) but the over zealous parents who acted like they won an Nobel Prize for fucking.
I've seen videos of human birth, and it is messy. It isn't that evolution isn't amazing, it is, but our species is far too narcissistic. Life is amazing, but I do hate that our species stupidly thinks we are above nature, when the reality is that we are only one species in nature.
Life is amazing, but fucking is not why life is amazing. It most certainly can be enjoyable, but it is not the only aspect of life.
So when someone has a baby, fine, show me your pictures, I will humor you and be happy for you, but don't act like you cured cancer.
