I once read about a social research that shared the conclusion that human beings can really only befriend 5 people at a time. 5 people is pretty much the max you can be truly close with, and when looking at myself and other people, I can agree with that.
With that in mind, why do certain social structures created by people exist?
For example, the concept of a harem is a waste of time. You cannot love all these women equally, not to mention men are done and satisfied after 1 minute of sex, so it's overkill. And then there are the hundreds of children his harem shits out, and they will meet with the same neglect from this man who already has no relationship with most of his wives.
Do people still consider mindless procreation the meaning of life? What is the value in that? There can be no value in the creation of life if no one values life.
I remember seeing a reality tv-show that centered around a couple that had many children of their own, but they also had some kind of adopting-addiction, "because they love children so much".
But no, you don't love them if you can't give them the attention they deserve. Just because they have a roof over their head and food on their plate doesn't mean they are better off. A common orphanage offers them the same deal. When you enter a real family, you're supposed to feel loved, that is the key difference.
Even the children they interviewed in that show said they hardly got any attention from their parents, and it made them sad. It makes me sad as well.
