The Potential Redemption Of Humanity Through Parental Love

If you want a compassionate society, you must raise your children with love, and Israeli society places a premium on that.

A catastrophe is occurring before our eyes. The media calls it “the population implosion.” However, some important people (Bill Gates, for one) are pleased as punch that the world will be denuded of billions of its inhabitants should this decline continue.

There is something definitely wrong with these depopulation advocates. They express satisfaction at the prospect of the only known inhabited planet in the universe rolling backward into a new Stone Age! After billions of years of development, after finally reaching the point at which the universe can just now begin to understand itself through human intelligence, we are blowing it for both us and the universe. Why must humanity succumb to an epidemic of leaders who suffer from attachment disorder and who then go on to insist that their psychopathology is normative?

Regarding population implosion, the first thing to say here is that children were never considered an unadulterated blessing, for they bring burdens with them. However, the universe fought back against the abandonment of helpless newborns with evolution-derived tools that made infants more desirable.

Sight, hearing, touch, smell, and even taste gave infants increased survival advantages. Because of this sensory input, affectional reciprocity between parent and child became critical in building gentle attachments.

 Less competent children died out, sometimes at the hands of their mothers and fathers who could not tolerate the presence of another mouth to feed. It would be fair to speculate that cannibalism directed at tasty babies and toddlers was a common response to the loss of large mammals in a given area, but no one has left their diary describing daily life 15,000 years ago.

Today, though, we face a Western population........
