It really is the worst when shitbags like this take what could be a useful, healthy nugget of advice and paint over it with their antisocial garbage.
For all people, having a "mission" in life, finding a purpose, and having something to look forward to are all generally good things that are good for you.
Your mission that you look forward to does not need to be any specific thing that some scumbag who does not care about you prescribes.
For those of us who want families and have them, and considering that we are a social species, it also turns out that your partner, your kid(s), and your immediate environment that you can control (home) can be a pretty significant and rewarding part of your purpose each day!
It's just a part of how conservatives think that they can claim a monopoly on family values while actively destroying families left and right. Which in turn is part of their warped view of the world where to love X means hating that which is non-X.
I have the most traditional looking family you can imagine. It works great for us, and I say fuck messages like the one in the OP that say our individual paths to fulfillment must look alike.
Many of our paths DO look alike, because there are billions of us living in the same world, and that's why it's worth sharing anecdotes and advice while we shout down the "thou shalt" garbage.
