Many people believe so. Others are absolutely convinced. And then, there are those who believe as I do--our children could be our hope for the future of mankind...but NOT the way we're doing it.
The people in the first 2 groups also don't really believe mankind's future is at stake by our actions today. They blindly believe we can continue going on and doing as we've been doing...because Our Children will save mankind.
The third group believe we are exploding our population so much that we could very well be condemning our children to future extreme food shortages among many other things we'll be depriving them of. Things such as water, fuel, privacy, and...space.
There are many areas around the world that are presently experiencing hunger and drought and genocide. There are countries such as the USA who send food and medicines and in some cases, soldiers to help those countries in need. But, as food availability begin to get scarce, our aid to other countries will stop...to feed our own citizens. Then our own country will experience hunger and severe drought.
Simply put, people, there will be so many of us, there is just no way there will be enough food for everyone. There will be so many of us, we'll be living elbow to elbow everywhere. There will be so many of us, what resources we have now will quickly dwindle to nothing.
This is the future for our children.
The first and foremost action we must take is NOT to find alternative energy sources, it's NOT to grow more food, it's NOT to build more schools and hospitals.
THE FIRST AND FOREMOST ACTION WE MUST TAKE WITHOUT HESITATION IS TO SEVERELY CONTROL OUR WORLD POPULATION GROWTH. We MUST bring our population down to a manageable size, we MUST bring our population down to what our resources can provide for survival.
As our world becomes ever more crowded, crimes will increase exponentially. People will begin to hoard. People will begin to take from their neighbors. It will be an ugly world for our children and their children.
If you really think about it, you will see that every single problem we're experiencing today and will experience tomorrow even more severely...every problem stems from our ever burgeoning population.
You hear it everywhere every day. Not enough funds for more teachers, schools, law enforcement, hospitals, and everything else we need for a quality life. As our population continues to grow, we also need more roads, more housing, more water, more food, more prisons. As our population grows, we need ever more of Everything!
But we are not controlling our birth rate and we are not teaching our children to control their birth rate.
The Bottom Line: Unless we willingly begin to accept our own responsibility for increasing our world population, there will come a day when controlling the world's population growth will be mandatory. When that day arrives, it will be way too late to do much good. By that day, our world will have been ravaged for too long.
Climate change, shortages of all resources, and loss of privacy will be the direct result of the actions of each of us today. Our world will not be a beautiful world again until humans are long gone. It will take our beautiful world thousands of years to recover from our having existed. Thousands of years to erase all traces of mankind.
This is the legacy we are leaving to our future generations. They will be the ones to witness the end of mankind. Their last thoughts of us will not be nice or kind. Their very last thought will be, "Why?"
