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

in #family6 years ago

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.
