Dumping

Many today, are very worried about the explosion of population. But, this is really more of a myth than a reality. A city dweller can easily be deceived of its reality because of what he sees and experienced. In the city, one can easily see so many people at different times of day. In the city, one can easily experience the difficulty of obtaining services or goods due to their scarcity or high cost. But that is only in the city. Outside the city, in the outskirts, these are less seen and experienced. The difficulty is more of the availability and obtain ability of these services or goods.

First, I believe that the world will never be small for everybody even without population control. Second, the world is so full of potential that it can sustain any food or other life sustenance's we will need in our lifetime. I believe this because of my faith in God. God is not that stupid that He would allow us to pro-create and not allow provisions for it. Proof to this is the "dumping" method countries and companies are doing.

The method of dumping is the wasting or throwing of goods/foods in order to maintain the supply in the market. There is an economic principle that states, " More supply, less demand. More demand, less supply." In connection with this, "More supply, lower. Less supply, higher cost." That is why if we have more produce, the prevailing price will be lower and it might result to the lost for the producers. The solution there would be to "dump" the excess products, thereby maintaining the scarcity of the supply and making the cost higher. In other words, for the sake of cost, countries and companies are willing to "dump".

This is morally wrong. As the saying goes, "Many are dying hungry in this world!" The painful truth about is that they are dying not because there is no food, but because it is not made available. There are places when there is too much food to the point that they are either given to animals or thrown away. And there are places when there is scarcity of food that they cost very high and people are dying!

Rather, let us dump our greed, Let us dump our lack of concern. Let us dump our selfishness. And let us dump our divisions. We are not only citizens of our country, but more importantly, we are citizens of this world.
