Everyone dies alone. If you have children, you will probably have more joy and connection in life. There are a few exceptions — I met an enliightened Buddhist monk (the real deal), and he was doing way better than anyone — but vast majority of humans (and he even admitted himself) would be better off having kids, something that’s obvious once you have kids. There is a minority of miserable people who probably should not have kids for the sake of the kids.
