-------------------------
One of my friends shared the above short film with me.
Other than the apparent lessons, like not to waste food, eat only when you need and not over-indulgence....
To my opinion and only my personal opinion, I strongly feel that if one family is poor, please don't have too many children.
although one can claim having children are blessings from God, bringing them into this world to suffer is the opposite in reality. To me, children are only blessings from God if the couples can afford it. This is because when children are born, we have to shower them with best of love, care, provide them with the best comfort and protection, as well as basic necessities like food, clothing and shelter. If a couple is in question or has any hesitation in providing what I stated above, well, think twice or more of having children more than they can afford.
Humans are creatures who need love and family, but adults also need to realise their responsibilities that comes after of their actions in bed, especially those who don't practise family planning. So, not only the teachers of various religions have to teach / preach about family values, they have to educate the people about reality too.
