Our world will surely end if we, the self-proclaimed superior species on our planet, do not drastically face the truth about ourselves and dedicate ourselves to making some very major changes.
Our very nature is to be extremely voracious. We call it self-preservation and progress and so many more words we created to excuse our actions and avoid facing the truth about ourselves.
We are voracious consummate consumers...of everything. We have convinced ourselves that the things we desire are necessary when, in actuality, most of what we want are luxuries and not necessary to our life or our survival. We've convinced ourselves that we deserve it or that it is our inherent right to have all we desire.
We've lost track of what is really important. Keeping our planet healthy should be at the top of every person's list of things to do. Everything else falls below this. Without our planet, we are literally nothing--we cease to exist because we cannot exist on an unhealthy planet, a planet with toxic air, little fresh water, little food, no wildlife, no jungles and forests, not enough space for everyone, not enough housing for everyone.
All the immediate problems that are possible to end our existence are and will be a direct result of our irresponsibility and screwed-up priorities. In particular, the belief that having children is every person's divine right. IT IS NOT OUR DIVINE RIGHT. Having children is a serious responsibility and a privilege which we have abused and continue to abuse. By having too many children without thought of the dire consequences, we condemn ourselves to extinction.
This is a fact; not an opinion.
We are literally consuming ourselves out of house and home. It's like setting our homes on fire while we sit in the living room playing video games and eating steaks while we tell ourselves, "Not to worry; the firemen will be here to put out the fire." This is NeverNeverLand thinking.
As our population keeps growing, the pollution we create will cause climate change to happen faster, food and fresh water will be depleted more quickly, ever more wildlife and forests will be lost to make room for more humans. As resources are depleted faster and faster, violence will escalate to a horrific level.
And through all our trials and tribulations, we'll continue to hurry on our path of destruction by continuing to have more babies. No matter how destructive and desolate our world becomes, we will continue to have more babies even when there is barely enough food and water and space for the people who are already here.
We are a very sad species. We do what feels good even when it isn't right or beneficial.
We are a destructive species. We find a beautiful spot to live in. We move in. We begin to change that beautiful spot into an ugly polluted place filled with people, buildings, vehicles. We destroy everything natural and build unnatural structures to please ourselves. We should be keeping the environment as natural as possible. We should not be overwhelming and destroying nature with the weight of humanity. The natural world, the world as it was, is the reason humanity was able to flourish.
Every day, everything we do destroys more of the natural world. The natural world is what we need above all else to survive. We have not yet learned to truly appreciate this fact, to respect it, and to cherish it. The very thing we need to survive, we are destroying.
WE ARE COMMITTING SUICIDE, GENOCIDE. We are bringing about the end of humanity.
If we control our population growth and lower our total population worldwide, we give our planet a chance to heal from the damage we've done so far. If we do this one thing, we can insure the future of our species. This is the One Sure Thing we can do that's within our power to do. We can begin immediately and it won't cost us a penny. This one thing is something every person on this planet can do.
We just have to want to do it. We have to admit that we need to do it.
Or are we too selfish? Too weak? Too irresponsible? Too blind?
I don't believe that no one else sees this as clearly as I do. But it's something that everyone needs to see and admit. It's the only way to save our planet and our future as a species. If we do this, we can give us a chance and the time to undo all the damage we've done so far.
How about you? Do you have the courage, the intelligence, and the desire to save humanity and our world?

To save our world for the children we already have...
The First and Foremost thing we must do is to Mandate Birth Control Worldwide. If we don't, Nothing we do in any other area will be effective. And we MUST do this immediately. We must change our way of thinking. Children are not our Future or our Hope for the Future. Not the way we're doing it.
Without Mandatory Birth Control Worldwide, we are guaranteeing the death of a future for the children we already have today.
No matter how much effort we put into alternative resources, water preservation, food rationing, all efforts will fail...if we fail to Mandate Birth Control Worldwide.
So, what are we doing about it? Absolutely Nothing.
Instead, we focus on alternative energy. We talk about it a lot but do very little. We are unable to do without the overuse of energy in everything we do every day. We are unwilling to make major changes in our lifestyle. In fact, we assuage our overindulgence with tiny, ineffective changes such as CFBs, a few hybrid vehicles, and miniscule efforts to use solar and wind energy.
In the larger countries, everyone overindulges on everything. We are all too focused on the advances in electronics. Everyone wants a computer, cell phone, video games, computerized vehicles and homes. Even governments, large and small corporations and businesses depend heavily on electronics to run and maintain their business. Every aspect of our every day lives depend on electronics to take us through our days. Our military depend very heavily on electronics. Law Enforcement, Medical, Educational, and the Legal Systems all depend heavily on electronics to function. We all want as much of the electronic advances as fast as they can be produced.
We are more focused on electronics than in saving our world for future human generations. Even scientists and politicians all say we need to make major changes...not now but in the future. They are afraid to say we need to do it NOW...not tomorrow...not 10, 20, 50 years from now.
I say we are approaching the point of no return in these next few years. It's now.
The larger our worldwide population grows, the faster it grows. Our planet CANNOT keep pace in providing what we need to keep our world viable and give our children a chance for a future while we irresponsibly and unthinkingly continue to add to our population.
Mileposts to our future destruction are everywhere. Rising prices for everything we need--food, water, fuel, housing, education, clothing, medical services. The need for more prisons, just plain more of everything!
The foundation of every problem we have today and will have in the future is the world's ever-burgeoning and uncontrolled population growth. And yet, there is not a single entity in the governments of the world, no religious leader, no scientist, no educator, no parent who has the courage to say: WE MUST CONTROL THE WORLD'S POPULATION GROWTH...AND WE MUST DO IT TODAY.
Ideally, we must bring the worldwide population down to manageable and sustainable numbers. What number is that? Scientists say our world can comfortably support no more than 4 billion people. Where are we today? We are at nearly 7 billion! Almost twice what our world can support easily. We still have food and water and energy but each year, we consume more than the year before because the population is larger than the year before and growing exponentially while our resources diminish as fast as our population can consume them.
So, come on, people. Why is no one willing to give up the luxury of having so many babies? Do we love the children we have so little that we have more babies to take away the resources our children need to survive? Why is everyone so selfish?
If you really love your children, you will have no more. Instead, you will fight for Mandatory Birth Control Worldwide...beginning in our own back yard, in our own homes, in our own families, in our own country.
That is the only way to prove that we love our children and we want a viable home and future for them. Not doing it today is guaranteeing that our children will have a terrible future.
We are a selfish race. We refuse to see or admit what we're doing wrong. We don't have the courage to admit what must be done and the stamina and determination to do it...NOW.
