I'm going to start with a story:

According to plutarch, solon was amazed that the first great mathematician, thales of miletus, didn't want to marry or have kids.

So, thales sent a messenger to slowly, tortuously, inform solon that his son had died.

Whereupon solon began to beat his head and do and say everything else that betokens a transport of grief.

At this point, thales appeared and took solon by the hand, saying "this it is o solon, which keeps me from marriage and children; it overwhelms even thee, who art the most stouthearted of men.

But be not dismayed at this story, for it is not true"
