This entire planet is suffering because of man’s obsession with kids. You produce kids as if the kid would forever remain a kid. You totally forget that the kid would soon, very, very soon be a fully grownup individual.
But for three years of kuchikoo, you burdened the planet with a hundred years of the excreta of that full grown individual. For how many years do you get to kuchikoo the kid? Three years. And for how many years does that kid destroy the planet? One hundred years. After three years do you pack the kid back and parcel it back to your uterus? After three years you leave the kid upon the world.
Today, ahiṁsā (non-violence) consists less of not killing; today, the greatest act of ahiṁsā is to not reproduce. Violence lies less in killing; today, violence lies much more in giving birth.
