Why Do We Want To Be Parents?

parents A question I received: Why does the Upper One want to give to the lower one if he is in the state of Hafetz Hesed, meaning not wanting anything for himself?

My Answer: It’s not that the Upper One wants to give to the lower one, but it’s the Reshimot (informational genes) of the lower one that awaken the Upper One. Similarly, in our world we don’t give birth to children because we want to become parents of our own accord. Rather, the Reshimot of those who have to be born awaken our desire to become parents. With the help of a Reshimo, a future person that has to be born from you awakens in you a thought to give birth to him.
