What can you sense of these?

For me; The sense of these tell about the absence of maternal feelings.
How I try to search for it - but it does not exist. This sometimes upset me. Because why can't I feel what so many other women feel?
I do struggle with that, what is non-existing to me.
Though, then I think also of the weight of having children. Especially for females.
Even though Sweden is ranked as the fifth most equal countries in the world - it's still well know that females commonly take the most responsibility of children. On average females take 75% of the parental leave, which is partly why they earn on average nearly 3 million SEK/lifetime Less than males. Also, recent studies show that swedish females do "The unpaid work" - cleaning, nursing children and taking care of their close ones - on average 6 hours/week more than males...
.. Those things, and so much more makes children not only a chance of love, they are a risk for missing other loveable things in life.
Neither do we need to create life to have love.
We can have more room for the already existing beings.
These thoughts sets my mind into a strong level again.
Also,
Artists are never childless.
Our Art is Our Children.
