Dear Abhi09:
I read a good part of the article about India’s farmers plight, their pain and suicide rates and it is very sad. I think that your idea of putting the issue out there on social media is a good idea if you have a plan on how to help India’s farmers in danger of the financial devastation of loans that are impossible to pay, if you have a solution in mind for part of the problem if not all of it. Just putting it out there is not a good idea because cruelty and injustice are so very, very common that we, people, need not hear about more and more…if there is nothing we can do. If there is nothing we can do, our empathy is abused and we end up feeling more helpless. Money donations to so many causes are abused so often and so much of every dollar spent, that this is a consideration as well.
I have an idea and if you agree with it, maybe you and I can join forces. This idea is not popular and highly controversial but I believe it is a good idea: to limit increase in human population, in other words: less births, less babies, less children… This applies not only to farmers in India but to any pregnant mother who is faced with circumstances that are very unfavorable to the future child: anywhere from mental illnesses, drug addictions, to … well, these two only- an epidemic in the U.S. are enough to consider- so my idea is discourage bringing new people into very unfavorable circumstances were the new people are very likely to suffer the pain of their parents.
If you agree with me, I am willing to join efforts in reducing human population, let me know.
