I cannot think or comprehend anything more undoing than having a daughter.
Honestly, think about it rationally. You are dedicating most of your life into creating a sovereign nation free of any topside oppression solely so its significance could pale in comparison to your daughter's impatient hugs and angelic smile. All the hard work you put into your dream of the nation of Zaun - fighting your traitorous brother while struggling for breath in the toxic waters, asserting dominance over enforcers and sheriffs, bankrolling the research of biochemicals to power the people, providing labor for the poor, expanding the industry and frontiers, breaking free of Piltover's tyranny. All of it has one simple obstacle: your daughter has become more important than any of that, and you realize her smile is more valuable than anything the world can offer.
Building the nation of Zaun? Who cares. Who benefits from that? If you're lucky, some random chembaron parasite who had never fought for his life in the waters of the river, who will betray you and inherit everything without even understanding what truly makes Zaun strong - people loyal to one another to the bitter end.
As a man who has a daughter, you are LITERALLY dedicating your life simply to raise and protect a child who will become the MOST IMPORTANT THING to you - and you will meet your death knowing she'll be your legacy in a way nobody else could ever be, and ensuring she always knows someone loves and accepts her for who she truly is. Think about it logically.
