When would this DREAM happen?
Allow me to repeat this again:
It is not much about the people who are on earth now, but about those we are irresponsibly adding - did you hear of the 'Octuplet Mum', for instance?!
It is all about rational and logical management.
There is overpopulation, specially in the specific context of the current mode of production - or better say, mere exploitation of this Planet and its resources - that is, this wild, aggressive Capitalism driven by greed alone.
If only the goods and other life sustaining commodities, the product we ourselves produce or gain directly from Earth were responsibly and honestly managed; if our aims in this existence were spiritually more elevated(instead of the sole accumulation of money and other material items), there would certainly be no question of overpopulation the way it is now.
As many here rightly pointed it out, Mother-Earth is able to and is willing to take care of her Children - and does still do so - but we are extremely abusing her generosity, for everyone wants still more and more and, as we all know, there are no limits to the 'accumulation fever' and greed has by definition no boundaries.
Besides, Humans are not the only inhabitants of this Planet. ONCE AGAIN.
This must be clear.
There are other Life Forms having the same rights to be and to develop; Life Forms which are as necessary and dear to Earth as we, Humans, are: Flora, Fauna.
We are building factories and other human production facilities on lands, which should normallybe reserved to agriculture, to the flora and fauna; we are destroying forests, polluting water and air...
Flora and Fauna are being incessantly persecuted by us.
Honey bees are disappearing in horrifying huge numbers and sorts(and we all know the great role they play for the balance of our eco-system, for our flowers, our patatoes, our wine...); the ice is dramatically melting (due in part to human irresponsible activities, like the tests of atomic and nuclear bombs underground and in the atmosphere!!!)...
We need to be reasonable and seek harmony with our world.
The only one we have got.
Have a nice day for now - i have to rush to work.
Thanks for your insights and looking forward... to more!:-)
Namaste.
