Politicians become anxious when they see that the population in their country or electoral constituency is declining. They react as though humanity is on the brink of extinction and the world is about to collapse. To address this issue, they often give incentives for families to have more children, offering benefits and allowances to encourage population growth. Large corporations and industrialists share similar concerns, but the public should pause and ask themselves: do politicians and the wealthy truly care about you and your children?

Politicians need votes, and a larger population means more potential voters for them. When the population grows, the likelihood of winning elections increases because attracting new voters is often easier than convincing those who have firmly held beliefs. Additionally, a growing population often prompts the government to add more seats in national and state legislatures. It means more opportunities for politicians to secure positions.

Meanwhile, industrialists look at population growth as a source of labor for their factories and as a growing market for their products. Both politicians and industrialists are motivated by self-interest; they prioritize the expansion of their political influence and business empires. They are not motivated by the thought of the well-being of ordinary citizens.

You may argue that this perspective is overly cynical. But take a moment to consider: what have politicians actually done to improve the everyday lives of the people like you? Have they succeeded in eliminating discrimination, exploitation, and harassment of people? If they truly cared for you, wouldn’t the quality of life of most of the people be much better? If industrialists truly prioritized people, would they amass enormous wealth while workers struggle to make ends meet? If they had cared for you, there would be no war in this world and the world would have been crime free. But, the reality is very hard.

Ultimately, it’s essential to recognize that politicians and business leaders often see the public as a resources to fulfil their ambitions. Workers are fed and provided for, not out of genuine concern for their well-being, but to ensure they remain productive. Once they are no longer useful, they are cast aside.

The choice is yours: do you wish to bring more children into a world where they may become part of this cycle? Or, would you prefer to have fewer children and focus on giving them a higher quality of life, free from the burdens of others’ ambitions? This world is already crowded and chances of getting a good life are reducing every day. Choice is yours as life is yours.
