Default Heaven and hell on earth

If you look at what is happening to people around the world some are in hell and some are in heaven.

Heaven equals vast wealth, free from worries, people doing everything for you.

Hell equals the poorest those with no voice and no hope, used and abused by others, children starving to death.

And this is the world that we the human race have created.

We are all guilty by continuing to live by the rules that see one with everything and one with nothing.

I agree but it would take alot of sacrifice, kindness, generosity and acceptance on a global scale to change anything, that isn't going to happen unfortunately

Here's the real hard to swallow pill:

The world doesn't have the resources for all 7 billion people to live well. It's not just that it would take a gargantuan effort in sharing... if you took everything the world has and divided it equally, the result would be a relatively poor existence for everyone.

If we stop spending money on weapons and tens of millions of pounds mansions for two people to live in we would sort the world out

I agree. We are overpopulated and it is not sustainable. And every time nature comes up with a way to thin us out a bit, we find a cure. There is no end to our self-importance.

As for the heaven and hell thing, I really do believe that there comes a point when you have to answer for the kind of life you've led and what happens to you after that depends on the kind of human you were.

Weapons is a strange one. I'd love the UK to give up all its weapons... about ten minutes after Russia and everyone in the Middle East gives up theirs.

I think the only way we can reduce population is to educate people to understand the consequences of not reducing. Ask people to limit themselves to two children. There will be some who have more, but many may have less, or none. It would be a slow start, but it would be a start. It would be a huge mistake for anyone to think you could force people to reduce, you have to have them on your side and understand the reasons.

Global equality would only ever be possible with a MASSIVE drop in population as in 75%+.

Although my honest thinking is that the world can only comfortably support a few hundred million people "living their best life" . We're too adaptable, too good at surviving, and too good at reproducing. There's an irony in that I think. The human animal's individual ability to survive and adapt is the very thing that's going to destroy our home and ensure that our viability as a species is limited.

In order for that to happen, women all around the world need the right to education and the right to own their own bodies and reproductive systems......that's a long way off as it means tackling religious beliefs and cultures that don't want to change

The problem is that you'd need global cooperation or the population in certain areas would continue to boom. And global cooperation is... well it's not likely, really. If we can't effectively cooperate on things as urgent and basic as carbon emissions and antibiotic resistance, how would we ever cooperate on something as drastic as population level control?

Some people have worked really hard to get from hell into heaven as you call it, but not everyone who is rich is happy and not everyone who is poor is unhappy, We are really lucky to live in the country we do, there really should not be children starving, there is so much waste in the world and education has to be a thing too , we are overpopulated, I think education is the thing here, and maybe we should just be thankful we are all relatively in heaven compared to some.

Absolutely. The first thing that would need to be done would have to be the freeing and the educating of women. Every woman in the world should be in charge of their own reproductive system. And yeah, it's a massive mountain to climb... the alternative is to allow humans to increase and their needs increase to the point where the earth just dies.

In theory yes but it would probably be some sort of parasite in a living host, rather than the actual "living dead".

Yes, the Vatican for instance... refuses to allow women to use contraception, but has killed more women than childbirth.

People in power are too short sighted to even try to move forward with this anyway. Keeping people ignorant and poor is a great way to control and they will be dead anyway when the world implodes so why should they give up their money and power? Basically
