Life is

Pulled forward by beauty, pushed back by fear

Regarding the Affect of Human Population Growth on Human Progress

 


      Population density will reach a point where its increase no longer aids in the progress of the human race, but hinders it, due to a net excess of energy being "wasted" through dealing with the affects of the density.



A simple illustration is-

Expending energy to deal with famine; the affects of water shortages; aggressive transmittable diseases; various climate change challenges, and the massive amount of energy used in wars over resources,

VS

Investing this energy into education, science, our communities, etc.



      I think it is important that the human race starts thinking of population density as a potential threat to the progress of our species.  I think more important than the threat of our species being "wiped out" by our own unhindered reproduction, is the threat of being held back by it.

My Relationship

My relationship was a flower
I grew into her, and she into me.

I gave promise of warmth and nourishment

She bloomed to me

She brightened up my life and warmed my heart

I fed her;
then abandoned her.
Fed her;
then abandoned her,

Until one day she withered and died.

Now I stand looking at the dry withered flower in my hand
