Going through the physical acts required for procreation could be trivial to some, I suppose. What's not trivial is the sense of wonder and amazement when you hold your child in your arms for the first time, as well as the realization that nothing you've done or will do in your life will compare to how you protect, raise, encourage, and prepare this child to be a powerful force for change in the world long after you have gone.
