Does we can, mean we should?

I am a big fan of, "Yes we can!" There are those times when the question, " But, should we?"  Is way more important.  

Perhaps, these changing times are forcing us to see reality concerning what we need to have in our life, instead of what we "think" we need to have.  Do we need to have homes with oversized everything filling them to the brim?  Do we need three car garages for a family of two?  Do children need catered birthday parties, financed by their over zealous parents?  Do we need to use our medical knowledge to allow mother's to have litters of babies?  

My animal breeding knowledge is limited, at best.  But, using the simple rule of anatomy tells me that female humans should normally have no more than two children...hard to feed more than two at one time.  Many species actually kick any extra newborns out of the nest because nature tells them something is wrong.  If an animal has six nipples, they have six babies...we have two.  

So, knowing this, I am curious as to why humans have taken on the, all too common, behavior of forcing our bodies to create up to four times the natural amount of children we were made to produce at one time.  How many generations does it take for a genetic trait to begin to show up in our offspring.  Are we going to reflect on the era when women only had one child at a time?  Is our anatomy slowly going to mutate until we have nipples up and down our torso's?  EWH!

You might argue, drugs force women to have so many children at a time, with the multiple fertilized eggs manually implanted into her, this is not naturally occurring....But, this is happening while tiny, little lives are being created, all under the influence of unnatural manipulation.  

I am not knocking fertility medicine.  I know many people who have become parent's due to fertility measures.  It is a beautiful thing.  God obviously gave us this medical know how - to help us.  What I am questioning, is why do human's have an almost predictable need to push limit's to excess?  Why not just one or two, maybe three?  Ask parent's of newborn twins or triplets, if their cup runneth over or not? 

Maybe, this spiritual shift is here, among other things, to help us choose balance.  The planet that we live on, is in a perpetual state of balance, it is naturally occurring.  It never ends...when all things are balanced, peace truly has been achieved.  

How does this affect your personal life?  Look around you.  Where is your life out of balance?  Too much work?  Too much stress?  Too much stuff?  Living your life consumed by your mortgage payment's?  Too much time on the computer?  

Take small steps to create harmony in your life.  Whittle away at the excess in your spaces.  Clean out closets, garages, rooms, and decide what you really need to live happily.  Releasing excess energy will immediately help lighten your load and help you get off the teeter-totter!

As for having big families, balance is the key there too!
