More People, More Pie
Some people think that there are too many people in the world. There are some crowded places to be sure, but there are also plenty of wide open spaces. These same people believe that there are a limited amount of resources to be had. Further, many of them believe that people are a drain on the environment and that the environment should be protected, even if it is at the expense of people.
The wealth of the world has increased with the increase of people. There is more pie. The pie is not limited. It increases by ingenuity and innovation, by creativity and work. These are unique attributes of people. People are so awesome. Everyone is unique. Every one is important.
Consider that one of the trillions of individual cells in one human being is as complex as a skyscraper. There are structures that screen for security, some enzymes are allowed and some are not. There are areas of permeability, like tiny windows. There is a whole complex power supply station right inside, like is own micro generator. Our cells produce electricity, chemicals, nutrient and waste products. Each one has rooms and compartments for the various components. The blueprints for the entire structure are encapsulated in every single one.
When a new person is created, the two individual cells become one, shedding some of their individuality and combining resources that increase and multiplying a a miraculous rate, they actually build a new person from a microscopic union.
People are producers by nature. We love to build, to make things, create music, art, intrigue. We plant, nurture and cook. We gather and arrange. We catalog and organize. We are so amazing! Because of people, we can get into a box on four wheels, turn a key and create a series of events that enable us to move at ridiculous speed and visit or serve other people. We can transport people or goods anywhere on the earth. We can even communicate in real time with anyone anywhere without ever leaving the comfort of our couch.
People make these things happen. People produce the technology. People give us art, People help us appreciate the beauty around us. People nourish dreams and cast visions.
Of course, I recognize the other side of the coin. There are bad people, those who hurt others, who destroy things and crush dreams. We all have known them. Some of us have been hurt by them, but those few do not represent the whole. Almost every person has value and or adds value in their own way. Humans are not the problem. Humans are the answer.
There are a lot of problems in this world, but it is people who have or will create the answer to each of those problems and lest you think I am too idealistic, I know that some people are the problem. Their utter rejection of other, lesser people, is ludicrous.
Elitists believe in reducing the population by any and all means possible. That is a notion that should be wholly rejected as an illogical solution to the world’s problems. We need people.
ProLife people understand the principle of more people means more pie. How are you see you fellow man? Are they the problem or the answer?
