The wisdom of quality over quantity

When asked, most people will say they prefer “quality” over “quantity”. This comes as no surprise with folks equipped with a basic intellect and a reasonable amount of common sense. 

For instance those of us we have lived long enough, would rather have less clothes or shoes, as long as they wear well, look good and are of good quality. In fact we tend to always gravitate towards wearing the same garments. 

The same can apply to housing, furniture, electronics, leisure, etc. It can also be projected into size comparison, like “smaller and nice” vs. “large and ugly.” 

Now, if we take the same reasoning and apply it to population, or closer issues related to family-unit, like the number of offspring, it doesn’t take a genius to prefer having less kids in order to give them better living conditions (at least better shelter, food and education), It seems that all parents ought to think that way, yet too few do, and then we have an overpopulated planet. 

Wouldn’t it be a fantastic idea for someone to explain that concept to future parents, no matter where they live, what they do, how they think and which deity they might believe in?
