That feeling when I have passed the age of thirty, and again given some serious thought to the notion of any sort of intimate human companionship, whether male or female.
That feeling when, for various reasons, I have consciously decided not to seek this out in any way, concluding for various reason that my solitude is best for all parties, and not out of any edginess or shyness.
That feeling when I can have some good succour with the absence of STDs, unwanted permanent yoking to society by means of a knock-up or pregnancy for which I am become liable for the rest of my life, a legal marriage, or the other typical traps of adulthood.
That feeling when, fedoras and memes notwithstanding, a certain atheistic nihilism is in fact the most intellectually honest outlook on life.
That good feeling when unlike earlier people, I was born just time to be able to have comforts unknown to them who lived before.

For what reason, then?

are you having a riff meme lad, or is that some computer thing?

All of the traps your ancestors fell into, all of the poverty they endured, all of the obligations they honored, it was all for the purpose of causing you to exist, a being completely content to enjoy the result of their efforts in isolated comfort until it all becomes nothing.

seems like nihilism is a self-fulfilling prophecy, then. If you live like there's no purpose, then when you die, the purpose for which everything before you had lived dies with you.

Looks like we've fallen into the greatest trap of all: one of our own design.

It's interesting. The family life was unusually conducive to this outlook.
Loving and calm, there was never any particular push to do this or that. Dad an atheist, mom a quiet protestant. They actually did not plan on having a kid (something I only fully appreciated around early adulthood), and once they had me, although they do love me and did not resent me (if they had, I would have picked up on it as a child, as any well-adjusted human knows), it was clear that they did not want more kids. Mom got her tubes tied during my early teens, thereby foreclosing any other siblings, which I didn't mind at all.

I guess you're just a happy accident who inherited your parent's nihilism. I can't put it forth as some kind of moral imperative to carry your ancestral banner through your life to give purpose to their struggle, I can't say that you're wrong for not wanting to do that, but if I met a version of myself who felt the way you do about it, I'd be sick.
That's just because of where I come from. My patriarchal lineage has lived off of a particular piece of land for 8 generations, nine including myself. Each one of them has taken what we were given and turned it into more than it was, and has provided a better life for the next generation than what they had for themselves. I don't know further back than my grandfather, but I know that he's acknowledged my father to be more intelligent and resourceful than he, and my father has acknowledged the same for me. Part of the purpose of my life, as I see it, is to ensure that my son has the capacity to exceed me as every man in my line has exceeded his progenitor.
