as per title.

Sorry if this question is offensive/stupid but Im genuinely curious.

I met a lot of old people that are still single (never married) and just wonder why. their age is 40+, some i know are retired like 60+, theres one grandpa i met before too (idk his age, maybe 70+?) , i assumed he is a grandpa with grandchildren but actually hes single and never married.
I cant ask them cause they might get offended. so i ask here lol

i have 1 relative she is 40 and still looking but no luck. I personally think her personality is good, maybe physically not so attractive but ive seen uglier people and people with worse personality have husband/wife.

i dont get it, i thought theres a person for everyone?

Because that's REAL LIFE. It's not a machine where everyone is going to turn out to be the same. Some people even live happy lives but were never married.

If you don't intend to get married why work so hard and struggle in life?

All the riches and wealth you built up will end up going funding/paying taxes to unnecessary future migrants, and orphans which neither are your own flesh and blood.

Sort of foolish idea.

And why would that last part be necessarily a "foolish idea"? In addition, who says that your destiny in life is to ensure that everything you have ever worked for should be beneficial to those in the future? Could one not live for sake of who they deemed to be important, including themselves?

My destiny in life is determined by myself and I shall not allow myself to be "cuckold".

Say you die one day a loner with millions in the bank unclaimed. How's that anything important to you anymore?
Who you want to give it to?

Donate to charity? Give to the orphans?

Why not? All of those can be viable options. Why are those things "bad" in your opinion?

Same return question can be asked. Why work so hard when you are a single to earn all these much only to be given up for charity when you return home to God?

How's that viable?

How's that NOT viable? Anything can be viable if the individual thinks it's viable. Question is, why do you think that's NOT viable? What kind of "viable standard" is there to follow?

So if it's your wish to handover your wealth and stored up savings to outsiders no one's stopping you.

Viable or not differs on the individual.

My own hard earned keep of course for my own or my own descendents / offsprings.

Yeah, of course, it differs. It's you who keep asking whether or not it's viable without understanding that it's different for everyone.
