Our Population,            Our Pain, and Our Growth Janet Kuypers 7/11/19, World Population Day on this day, years ago, someone tried to remove me from this population on this day, the U.N. reaffirms the basic human right to plan for a family — not to lose family, but to grow family, make a blueprint for a better future for all to be healthy on a healthy planet, welcoming more and more people — when I survived the attempt to wipe me away from this world I knew I mustn’t dwell on the pain or on the injustice but on the recovery it sometimes seemed impossible, but I knew I ultimately had no choice: I must survive — after battling death, our only choice is to celebrate all life in this growing population enshroud life in love do not shun it, destroy it, or kill it let humankind grow see how what we do affects other species and our planet Earth itself — so know that if we do not squelch our population, we must nurture it, treasure it to make sure humans know to keep peace with everything so we can all, finally, grow, together
