Happily Insane
(Feel free to ask questions)
Forest Gump is funny. He says life is like a box of chocolates because you never know what you're gonna get. I beg to differ. Life is, ah, like . . . a game. Yeah, that's right. Life is like a game. Every new scenario in it has to be approached with caution (or none, if you're like me) and then every time you run into it afterwards it becomes a pattern. Life, and everything in it becomes predictable because that is how everything has been designed (or not, if you don't believe in god).
But our world is constructed. If not by God, then by us. Yes that's right. Us. We the tiny parasites that crawl on this tiny ball of matter, orbiting in this tiny system, which orbits in this tiny galaxy we call the Milky Way which floats in this tiny universe that sits among this tiny collection of tiny universes.
Our spot. Right here. That we see, smell, hear, taste, is where we've built our tiny world. First it started out simple. Everything eating, drinking, fornicating, all the dirty shit. Then we discovered somewhere the complexities of good and bad and eventually our "primitive" ideal for survival became more complex. We started believing in an illusion called selflessness. But no. We've always been selfish. We're still primitive. At the core, we're all just animals. We're so nearsighted, that to plan for "the big picture" has no meaning. It's a joke. And a sick one at that.
So many modern day issues. Right? Politcs. War--wait wait wait, no. War is not new. It's just become way more devastating and results in a bigger boom because of all our new toys. Poverty. Not enough jobs. Endangered species. Like the tiger or the panda. Oh, or maybe the gorilla.
So?
So that means you have to stop the population from expanding.
Yeahahahahahahaha! Oh that's funny--that's real funny, say did you make that up yourself?
Except it isn't a joke. We fill every space and as long as we try to treat the symptoms instead of the sickness, we're always going to have issues. China knows what I'm talking about! Look at him! He's growing up so fast! Now he made some mistakes, bumped and scraped a few joints, but he gets it. See America is a prime example of the issue. To control our population growth--OH! it's absurd! We'd be imposing on every person's rights even though NOT doing so is leading to all the issues we currently have!

So lets play doctor, and the worl is our patient, ok? Does that sound good? Ok, good. So, I'm going to give you a dose of programs to help raise and patch up members of endangered species to reintroduce them into the wild. Mkay? Oh, we can't forget, we need ah, rehabilitation programs, aaand--oh! homeless shelters. Yeah, that sounds good. How about a war protest prescription. Yeah! Ahhh, and we-we'll start building more places to work and house folks, ok--Oh but remember! no encroutching on the land of endangered species ok? Good. I think our problem is solved.
Next month (Or another 30-50 fucking years if you wanna get literal) The patient comes back and complains that we haven't done enough. All these treatments have gone to waste. And they've been applied. By god! The prescriptions been all used up? Why oh why hasn't it been WORKING?????
Because, sweetie, all these issues you're treating are just the symptoms. Then what's the real issue?
Well that's easy honey. The official diagnosis is overpopulation.Next month (Or another 30-50 fucking years if you wanna get literal) The patient comes back and complains that we haven't done enough.

Letting people have the freedom to have as many kids as they want is the reason our population grows at an exponential rate! But China recently (relatively recently) started to restrict the legal number of children per couple to two. Originally it was one per couple which led to a decline, but they learned from the mistake.
But what about the rest of the world hmmmm? Are we going to fixate so keenly on the fact that following China's example is breaching ethical and moral ground?
Ha ha ha. Well. Let me tell you something boy. It is wrong to allow situations that will put us through torture (And maybe eventual extinction) in the long term. But nobody thinks long term! Big picture! No!
Thing is, we are very tiny. Our world is very tiny. What happens in it is inconsequential to the rest of theoretical existance. So let's do something mate. Let's be a solution, mkay? Let's kill the sickness. One person, one town, city, state-- one country at a time! Because after all, it's only a joke. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHEHEHEHEHEHEHEEEE!
