I read some disturbing information and now I can't sleep? Help?!


Question: I read some disturbing information and now I can't sleep? Help?
I read on Yahoo! News that by 2050, the world will be almost unrecognizable. The population will be at 9 billion if everything keeps heading in this direction. The world would need to produce more food in the next 40 years than it has in the last 8,000.
The thought of the world being that way when I'm only 53 is scary. Not having enough to eat or anything...The whole population could very well be wiped out. There would be wars over food, it wouldn't be a peaceful place.
Meanwhile, there's families like the Duggars (19 Kids and counting) that just don't care. They're breeding like bunny rabbits, and because of it, their kids won't get to live long happy lives.
I don't think I'll ever have children, just because I don't want to bring a child into this world if it's headed in this direction.
All this has me really freaked out. I feel like I'm going to throw up. I can't sleep....What do I do? ;( I'm really scared...

Answers:

We can try and do our best to make the world a better place, come up solutions for the future, and work to implement them. But if we all constantly worry about the future, we won't be living our lives to the fullest now, and no one will be working on the ideas that can make the world a better place. Don't believe all the doom and gloom you read on the internet or watch on the History channel.



Don't worry... Just relax that's never gonna happen because that's way after 2012, so that means they're will be a change in the world that's gonna be big good or bad we don't know yet.. But ya, just go to bed you'll be fine.. Nothin bass gonna happen Sweet Dreams ;)



we can talk on yahoo messenger if you need someone to talk to and calm down. i wouldn't worry about that too much. so many things can happen until then. but i know how it feels to just worry to much in general. so my screen name is TheBTPYoda.



Simple answer: don't believe everything you hear/read.
The future can never be determined, because the present is always changing.



There have always been problems in every generation of the earth. Have faith in your ability to cope with what is happening today and with what will happen tomorrow. (Today, things are SO much worse than they were when I was a kid and yet, I'm coping and happy to be alive). Predictions of the future always seem to be discouraging because we feel like we are going to be victims. But God gave us lots of tools to cope and get the help we need in life. One of those tools is talking to Him about our concerns and fears and troubles. Then just going on from day to day. Don't judge the Duggars. They are taking very good care of their kids and teaching them ways to take care of themselves. There's plenty of bare land on this earth for everyone and for food to be grown. Take a deep breath and I strongly suggest you try saying a prayer.
