The
Mathematics of Malthus is described in his work entitled:
“An Essay on the Principle of
Population:”
The
power of population is so superior to the power in the earth to produce
subsistence for man, that premature death must in some shape or other visit the
human race. The vices of mankind are active and able ministers of depopulation.
They are the precursors in the great army of destruction; and often finish the
dreadful work themselves. But should they fail in this war of extermination,
sickly seasons, epidemics, pestilence, and plague, advance in terrific array,
and sweep off their thousands and ten thousands. Should success be still
incomplete, gigantic inevitable famine stalks in the rear, and with one mighty
blow levels the population with the food of the world.
Our life is part of God’s
masterpiece, to fill the universe he created, to share His glory and to have a
taste of power and freedom he bestowed upon us. Man should not put to oblivion
that stark reality. He is expected to leverage life in celebrating it, making
memories, serving humanity and taking part on goodwill.
However, ever driven with much
tenacity and acumen to fathom the truth behind the lines, man searches far
deeper into the unknown and the impossible only as to his own limit of
imagination. He walks the path beyond searching the pigment of the
truth, or so he thinks. This is where defiance begins.
The journey of achieving the said
“enlightenment” somehow caused him to stray into the wilderness of sins,
challenging the truths about God as taught in every kind of faith, religion; as
prophesied by sages, philosophers and great teachers.
For every magnitude of chaos, he finds his own solution. And as part of an aging life, the world and its people is also in the verge of looming crisis.

Overpopulation is the cancer of
the world today, and it is inevitable. Man strives to balance the use of world
natural resources, learn the hard way of dealing of things that can be out of
control – like poverty, crimes, even death. Because life is just an opportunity
freely given. It is not there to live forever. Even the stars has its own end
and beginning. And all of these truths are revealed under God’s hand who alone
is the ultimate source, the beginning and the end of everything – including
life!
