People often blame poverty and environmental destruction on overpopulation, but do we ever think to question why there is poverty in the first place? Or why we willingly destroy our environment to begin with? Please let’s not ignore third world debt. Please let’s not ignore the unfair and destructive management of our hierarchical system. All I ever hear is how we should focus on the terrible symptoms without addressing the root cause of the problem: We allow a system/mindset that has no regards for life itself to rule the entire world. It’s unfortunate that as soon as someone suggests a reality outside of this so-called “real world”… they get shit on lol. It’s really time to think outside the box if we want real change. So far, all I see the overpopulation scare do is make people feel guilty for having children while continuing to live a life of isolated survival with no awareness of their power. I’m trying to push for a change in consciousness, which we need much more than a depopulation plan lol. It’s like cancer… sure we can surgically remove it or kill it off (depopulate)… but if we continue creating an acidic and unhealthy environment within our body (refuse to change our consciousness/actions), cells will continue to behave in self-destructive ways and eventually cancer will resurface again. A huge mass of people destroying their home planet doesn’t mean we should just kill them off or tell them not to reproduce so that there is “less” destruction… I think we should tell them to maybe not destroy the planet? Show them different ways of doing things perhaps? So that they can raise their kids differently and not set them up to become other worker drones with no other ambition other than getting a good pay-check? My logic may be simple but to me it makes sense. If we change, our actions change, and the world changes. By all means, if we want to take into account population growth, let’s do it. But if that becomes the emphasis, if we don’t think further than that, if we don’t actively aim to change our ways.. nothing will change. And by the way… I am not saying humans aren’t an issue and we should sit back and do nothing like many people bashing my overpopulation article claim (those people probably didnt read the article). Actually, all i’m doing is getting people to point fingers towards themselves…. but not by saying their existence itself is the problem, but how they choose to use their existence. I think it’s a beautiful thing to tell someone they can also exist to heal, to create change, the make this world a beautiful place.
