I said around children, not having children. The two are completely disjoint. I know lots of people who have children but are not actually around them and are miserable. Conversely, I know people without children who are surrounded by the happy little critters and have a deep sense of fulfillment.

Being around children teaches you a compassion for others and yourself, something your comment points towards a desperate need for.

ummm... you might want to try re-reading your reply and reflect on the OP's observation... your overly sensitive read of their post and vicious reply of your own suggests to me that you are not happy... and thus, presuming you don't have kids, supports OP's point.
