Is This The Meaning Of Life?

The Story

Hello, A young man, 23, who has big disagreements with his family about the meaning of life, writes to you. To begin with, my relatives are elderly people and I am their child, they love me very much, but they also cross a line. For them, the meaning of life is to have a wife and children. This is the most important thing, only for this it is worth living. And I want to have children one day, but not now, I don't feel ready, neither in life, nor financially, at all. They tell me, don't think so, we will take care of the children, we will help. I ask them - should I make these children for you or for myself Their answer is - that because of us, of course, you have to make us happy with grandchildren. They keep saying - this acquaintance has grandchildren, he became a grandfather, that grandmother ... We want too. A friend got married and they immediately - he has already succeeded in life, he is a few steps ahead of you. And they keep pushing me. They also tease me that if I don't get married by 25-6, I will never find a wife. I am told not to pursue a career and business, money is dirty and that is not the meaning of life. I wanted to go to a brigade in the USA 2 years ago, I didn't go because of them, because they told me that if I went to the USA, they wouldn't survive it (they are big Russophiles and hate everything American). Of course I didn't go (although I really wanted to), if something happened to them, I would never forgive myself that it was because of me. And this constant insinuation about the meaning of life, about the woman and the children, has already begun to weigh on me. We have talked a lot on the subject, but no, they have some beliefs and they burden me with them. I'm already starting to think I'm not the wrong thing. So, is this the meaning of life? Work from 9 to 18, woman and children up to 25 and so on until the End.
