Why would you want to learn a handstand? What's the point? It's a common question, often asked by people looking for a good reason as to why they can't do it.
The reality is why do you need a reason? Why not learn something for the sake of learning it?
What if I told you that the point of learning handstand is to be able to do a handstand. Why do you need more reason than that?

Sure, I could try to sell you on it. I can tell you that the handstand is the ultimate display of body control. I can tell you that it's a form of meditation and builds laser focus. Handstand will make you the best student in your yoga class, and it will make you a prime contender in the Crossfit games. That it will build rock solid upper body strength and make you jacked; after all look at the physiques of olympic gymnasts. It can fix all your imbalances. It's the basis of all acrobatic movements. I can throw out some fancy pseudo-scientific fitness buzz words like propioception, core strength, myofascial, primal, etc
You can get fit using only your bodyweight and gravity. Return your state of mind to a childlike form of play. Increase your weightlifting numbers. You could get more social media likes and followers. You can even sell fitness programs and make money with handstands; you don't even have to be good as long as you have flashy marketing. Maybe being able to do a handstand might make you seem more interesting. Maybe it will help you make friends and attract a potential mate. I've even heard how doing handstands can make your face look younger because of all the extra blood rushing to your head.

I can try to sell you, but I won't. Any of the above can be good reasons to learn handstand.
However, I want the main factor for someone to be curiosity. It always has been for me; it makes me hungry to know and learn more. I think being curious about something is the most powerful reason to want to learn it.

Being able to do a handstand probably won't increase your chances of survival, except through some abstract thought arguments. It probably won't help you get a job. However, you might build new respect, patience, and self awareness through the learning process, which may contribute to other elements of your life.

Even though handstand is what a lot of people know me for, I have gone through many different phases in the process. I have gone through times when I occasionally practiced handstand as a side activity. I have gone through times when it was a major priority and obsession, and I trained 2-3 hours per day. I've also gone through times when I could barely put my hands on the floor or grip anything due to injury and neurological issues. I understand all different manner of the training, from mild interest, to passionate obsession, to complete inability. All part of the cycle.
If I want to return to living and breathing handstand I can, and if I never look back I can say I walked the path.

So in conclusion, what's the point of the handstand? To learn the handstand.
Do you have to do it? No; but if you're curious, you can.
It's an interesting skill-based fitness activity that you can do for fun to get upside down, or spend years mastering it and refining the craft. If you never learn it or have no interest in it, that's fine too. Talented or not, you won't learn it by accident.

Either way, don't take it too seriously.
