Everyone in these photos seems to be doing pretty well for themselves. Why are you saying one is better than the other?

Having a wife and children is better than consorting with whores and spending wealth you didn't earn yourself. Crazy idea, eh?

Not a crazy idea at all, but other people have different perspectives on things. Some people have no intentions of continuing their bloodline and opt for a child-free life. Some people are quite hedonistic and wish to live a life of luxury. Some people prefer a life of sobriety with many wives and children. I don't see how any one of them is better or worse than any other. Like the old adage goes: different strokes for different folks.

Having a family and children is better. Hedonism is ultimately empty. You can't keep it up, it just gets dull. The root of decadence is "decay".
