Having children is the most meaningful thing you can do with your life. Intellectuals and creatives can't accept this because it means their vocations aren't supremely meaningful and any fool can have a more worthwhile life. But it's true and all the counterarguments are cope.

A bookseller isn’t obligated to sell your books or even recommend them. A lot of publishing is getting books to booksellers in the hopes they will love and handle them. That’s their job, and it shouldn’t be required that they can’t share their opinion about a book or an author.
