IF THE EARTH IS OVERPOPULATED - WHY DO YOU HAVE SO MANY CHILDREN?

in #family6 years ago

Good question... or is it?


A common belief out there is that the world is overpopulated. In a time where not having children is often portrayed as the "responsible" thing to do, why would I father "so many" children. In this video I talk about the development of my current understanding on this issue, and why I choose to allow for the possibility of more children in my family. (Also, special thanks to @doctorcrypto for the cool image I used in this post. Current contest here.)

Certainly is not a bad thing to have a lot of kids. The World does not have a procreating problem, it has a parenting problem. As long as you can take care of your kids, you can have as many you want

The World does not have a procreating problem, it has a parenting problem.

WOW! What a statement! Thanks for that @empress-eremmy!

Love it, mate. Gorgeous kids too.
Overpopulation talk makes my hair stand on end. It's propaganda designed to make us consider each other disposable. That's not a precursor to anything good.

What horribly accurate insight... it's terrifying, but true. Thanks for saying so!

Don't worry about the world's population. Thanos will take care or that.

IF THE EARTH IS OVERPOPULATED - WHY DO YOU HAVE SO MANY CHILDREN?

It isn't overpopulated...
It's a United Nations /New World Oder psi op - to make us believe that's the truth...

Quality of parenting (in the west), is a problem...but again, much of this is down to the inter-generational destruction of the nuclear family by governments.. (the same people telling you the earth is overpopulated, funnily enough)..

Very valid point. That's why a large portion of my lifestyle reform has that very end as the goal, the restoration of the nuclear family. Thanks!

The world has much more room
The powers that be are lying to us
These elites just want control

@papa-pepper God wants us to

The Bible does tell us that children are a blessing from God. Psalm 127:3-5 says, “Sons are a heritage from the Lord, children a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one's youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their enemies in the gate.”

Amen, if He's the Author of Life, I'll give Him the opportunity to author!

@papa-pepper Blessings, Abundance and Rewards............

Youtube is not cool. Please consider using D.Tube or Dlive.io for your awesome videos.

Yup @anzirpasai made that for me!

yups. @nasrina.nasir. I made this GIF. Because @papa-pepper is a good person as long as I know him.

Good rant - i shan’t write loads on the subject but I agree with what you say - there’s no overpopulation - just bad management of cities often and so much bad parenting by people who don’t want kids but have them anyway and then wonder why they are out of control monsters😂 Also by growing all those greens your footprint is even smaller because your beautiful garden puts lots of clean oxygen into the air. Keep doing everything you do😉 You and your children are helping create a brighter future for the planet. 🌈

Thank you so much for sharing your point of view. I am actually one individual who has an opinion similar to those who think world is overpopulated. From my position, what I see is that it is not about space, physical space. I think in this times we all have so much influence in other's life, which means we better do it good, meaning that we must stick to the path which (being honest with ourselves) allows us to (learn to) respect "life", not leaving aside what you just said, that we need to feel we can also accomplish our desires and stuff. I mean, you can change your mind, it is a process that is going to take you as long as you let it take, but a part of life, let's say biologically, resides in those mental processes. Life is pretty much about processes.

How many times we change our minds in life? If we are young "enough" it is not a big deal (for some of us it is easy getting better every time we screw it up), but there's a moment is which you must weigh up and see that the experience of having the power to be better it let you know you can, and that is all, because if it changes and you don't feel you quite have that power anymore, then what your power is now? You must discover a new one, but if you are not sure about what it is, what do you have? You learn also that you have yourself, and that you are also someone hard to deal with, just like you could have thought anytime before or right now about anyone else... So, as you say, you choose.

I'm trying to point that it is not an space issue, or maybe a physical fact about population, but (even if there was a time when maybe we thought we could have a simple, healthy and spiritually-connected life just as you do) some of us have more than one reason and in the end all it is actually about "growing up" (the same growing up as reaching adulthood, working, earning your stuff, feeding and following your passion, having kids we all learned it was growing up, just the same but adapted to OUR modern realities)...

The experience of "growing" is important, but it is different for everyone, and I think that having more options is a good thing. Not having kids is not a sad thing anymore (remember I am woman). It is just an option. That is good. It is just part of the process of evolution of collective consciousness. I feel happy because I trust your word because I can have an appreciation of the type of life you have and I hear from your own word that it is not easy but you are still a father of a great family and also God's man.

Thank you so much! I feel I can trust in my choice.
