have any children. I mean at the end of our life are we judged by the life that we brought forth or by the life we lived sans children. Not all of us are blessed to have had children.

We are not judged, period. Not having children is far more noble than having children and not properly caring for them.

As an individual, I feel it is my responsibility to judge my worth. It is no one else's business but mine. Some people have children without giving a thought as to the harm it is doing to our environment. Why be so selfish when there are children in this country now that go to bed hungry and have no medical care. What is wrong with adoption? Take care of what you have instead of wanting more. It would be better for the common good if human beings stopped bearing children. There are too many people now on our planet.

We all have worth, whether we choose to have children or not. We, ourselves, are the ultimate judges of the lives we lead, not some mythical god. Our goal should be to live life in harmony with Nature, other animals, and other humans. To be the best people we can be, by not judging others, by being accepting of differences, showing love and compassion in all that we do.

Our worth is not based on our children's worth or the mere fact that we have had children. Do we blame Charles Manson's mother for the cult her son started? No.
It's worth a lot more to help the kids who are already here than to breed new children into misery. We are judged according to the life we have lived.

It will be found that the things we want most for those that are blessed to be saved, the times God said NO is the biggest blessings you could have had, i have no family and no one close, but that is in itself a blessing allow me to explain, we live in a world that everyone dies in, Jesus according to John8:58, John 1, and Hebrews 13:8 is God and teaches it is for our good to put Him first and anything or anyone turning our heads to keep us from God puts us in violation of God's first commandment [not suggestion] of NOT having any god before Him, and its not for a selfish reason its for our good, you go in the direction you are looking and if a kid or loved one turns your head from God then which resurrection do you think your ending up, in John 5:28-29 we find there is ONLY TWO, find out more free bible lessons www.itiswritten.com talk to me also wgr88@yahoo.com God bless

Children are a major affect you have on the future.
But every action you do has some affect. You influence all those around you, and they influence THEIR children, so YOU INDIRECTLY INFLUENCE THEIR CHILDREN not to mention directly influencing many other.
This is the foundation for karma; if you wish to find out more you can email me, if not that's cool too, I don't feel like writing much anyway.

If you have children, how can you tell they are worth anything until they have children?
There are many ways in which you can influence the world. Life has inherent value.

We are judged by how by our works on earth.
read John 3:16 .GOD sent his son JESUS so when we believe in JESUS we have eternal life.JESUS lived a sinless life and gave up his life as a sacrifice so we can be sin free. Ask JESUS to come into your heart and forgive ur sins and
cleanse ur past with his blood.
With a simple prayer like above u can be saved.JESUS loves u and wants u to be saved.

you can only judge yourself based on you ability to judge reality.
What others think of you is certainly factored in, but not the highest value you should hold. Your life is a means to your own ends, not the ends of others. Unless you or they are a thief.

Jewish tradition puts a high value on having children.
It also says that teaching a child is equally as important.
For health reasons, I cannot have children. But I have been a teacher and friend. That's my role. And it's enough.
