Investing “monsters” for the future
MY DEAREST friend, Irene, once told me that she would never give birth to “another monster to this world.”
What she meant by another monster is: a baby, a child, girl or boy, who consumes water, air, electricity, uses tissues, chops trees, pollutes air and drinks gas from its tanks. “If I really want one, someday, I think I will just adopt him/her. Earth cannot bear for another monster,” she said.
By any reasons, environmental, psychological, or financial, women such as Irene — a 29 year-old single lady who doesn’t really think of kids, marriage, and family — is growing in this developing country of Indonesia. Intelligent women today [raised with good education], mostly those in big cities, do not want to surrender their twenties to some husbands. They want to pursue careers, enjoy lives, and explore the world.

And in this country, pending marriages is the same as postponing pregnancies.
