Thought: Human population must be contained...

I am going to anger people by this statement...but I mean it.
'I find those people irresponsible and selfish,  who have more than two kids in today's time'.
Hailing from world's second populous country might have been the reason for this aversion...we have grown, struggling for every damn thing...
When I came to the USA,  six years back...I thought I have escaped the vagaries..
No..the specter hounded here too....
As I am an Indian native, VISA norms are tight for my country...which quashed my post-doctorate dream...

People might say, how do multiple children of others affect me?
Yes the relation is straightforward..it affects us all.
Population causes pollution...pollution causes low quality of life and premature death... 
Each man and woman have been endowed with millions and thousands of sperms and eggs, respectively..
That means...potentially, anybody can breed dozens of kids...
But, do the world has the carrying capacity...that much resource?
Everybody wants to pass on their heard-earned wealth to their progenies..to have a secure old age...to die surrounded my blood relatives..to be buried or cremated by own children...
So, they have many children..
But, time has changed...low mortality, and increment in life span has made the world over-crowded..

Though its a personal choice, there are some duties that surmount those ..
Controlling population is the need of the time..
Be a good, responsible human being....have few children...raise them into nice human beings...
Give other species a chance to spread their population...we need them...more than ours..

Here is another analogy.......fictional one..but, realistic..
A man wants to be rich, so that he can leave wealth for his son..
He trades with exotic birds from the Amazon forest..
The bird population dwindles..
The bird used to feed on mosquitoes..yes, dengue, zika kind...
Now, without the predator bird, the killer mosquitoes multiplies alarmingly..
The greedy man's son died of dengue...

How does that feel? 
Same chilling bot true lessons applies to all.....
