Between the lines, what does it mean? | Things are not always what they seem

Language can be very complex and complicated at times, and even the very brightest of minds can sometimes find it very difficult to decipher what is being said by and from what was said. The words which were spoken can sometimes differ dramatically from the intended meaning. 

Between the lines and the real message

And may end up leading to conclusions far removed from one extreme to the other, depending on the thought processes and mindsets of the hearer, or reader. To get at the message which the speaker intends, one may need to take other things into considerations, such as: what was the purpose of the speech or article? Who was delivering the speech? Where does the person stand on the particular issue as well as other such issues? What is the track record of the person on these things? And the lists goes on. Suppose, for example, you should happen upon a lecture being given at the auditorium by a well-known atheist who is there to speak on the virtues of Christianity, and serving God. Immediately alarm bells are likely to be going up in your mind, and rightly so. Unless, unless you are thinking that the lecture is satirical, or… but why were those alarm bells ringing in your ear in the first place? The history perhaps? It’s probably because you already knew, or knew of this person and where she stands on such issues. This would have been the correct premise on which to begin, apprehension at the very least. If you then decide to hear her out, you may then need to make some further decisions as to what you are going to do with what you would have heard from her. Brings us to the point I want to make here. I came across this article entitled: Why we all deserve the same rights to have children.
Written by one, Sharyn Graham Davies. Which started off by a number of quotes:

“If you can’t have kids naturally through heterosexual intercourse, then you’re not meant to have kids. We already live in an over-populated world. There are almost 8 billion of us.”
“We shouldn’t waste time, energy and money trying to enable people who leave it too long or want to be involved in same-sex relationships, or have a disability to have children.”
“If you can’t have children naturally you are not meant to reproduce.”

Now, if you don’t know me yet, you will come to know me soon, just stick with us and see. My alarm bells would have started ringing very quickly, as is the norm on this and other such pronouncements. Whereas I do acknowledge that these were quotes, which may or may not have been uttered by someone, somewhere, and some time ago. I also do know and understands the power of the spoken word, and it’s multiplying factor. Even if those words were never spoken or written before, by anyone, and it was just this person saying them now in order to make a point, the point is made yes, but those words are also out, -spoken or written and there will be folks somewhere who are going to come across them and they are going to contribute in shaping or enforcing an idea, or two in somebodies mind, somewhere. Now, if this wasn’t enough. Let’s dig a little deeper.

“we,” who are the “we” of which they are speaking when and wherever one should come across these terms? Note: I’m writing and directing this squarely at the black population, and particularly at the black man. Because, in all of my search, and research on this matter, I’m appalled of the absence of the black face and voice in this very important and current issue. As a matter of fact, this was the driving force behind my deciding to write on this, under the tags #ll2b, #LLBB, #LB2which when interpreted means: love letters to black brothers. So, my black brothers, tell me now. Whenever you happen to see these terms “we,” and “them, they,” as it applies to such things as overpopulation, global warming, the future of the earth and such, where are you, (yes, and me too.) where are we as black people in these things? Just asking. Now, back to the topic at hand?

Profile of the "we" peoples of the future

“We shouldn’t waste time, energy and money trying to enable people who leave it too long or want to be involved in same-sex relationships, or have a disability to have children.”
 Said that someone, who by the way doesn’t look like me nor you. But she sure as hell does look a lot like any and every other one of those “we” who has been very busy and getting busier by the day, writing, talking, singing, praying, and all of the other ings. Like, trying to “do something about this.” But as for you, and me too? Hmm.
So, M. Davies, now done with the quotes, went into his bit, that which she wanted to say on her own account. "These provocative thoughts are not as uncommon as you may think…"

Now, which of those three quotes, or what part of any of them, were uncommon to you, from where you are standing, or sitting, and reading this? And why?
Let’s try at dissecting each. Quote, number 1. “If you can’t have kids naturally through heterosexual intercourse, then you’re not meant to have kids. We already live in an over-populated world. There are almost 8 billion of us.”

This is screaming at decibel levels I can hardly contain. So, the natural way of having kids is the heterosexual way, right? Why then are those people, who just happens to look a lot like you, why are you, sorry, I mean, why are they out trotting the globe, stopping mostly, on the doorsteps of governments and peoples who looks a lot, not like you, but more like, you know, me. With apparently no qualms about disrupting their (our) programs and plans just in order to push the wrong, sorry, I meant to say, rights agenda, a particular kind of “rights” agenda, why is that?

Then there’s the other stanza of the statement, I will underline it for you. “If you can’t have kids naturally through heterosexual intercourse, then you’re not meant to have kids. We already live in an over-populated world. There are almost 8 billion of us.”
Then you, not “we” this time, but you, those other peoples who “we” are going about fighting to give the rights to do the wrong kind of sex, that will render them not being able to have children naturally, then they, as in “you, or me,” are  not meant to have children? I see.

And finally. “We” already live in an overpopulated world. At 8b. right, so now that “we” have done all of those wonderful things to allow for the world and its peoples to prosper and thrive, in so much that the world has become overpopulated, and is becoming a threat to the survival of all of us, then the time has come to do something about it, about this situation, like, culling, sorry, I meant to say, preventing, preventing the least valuable of the earth’s peoples from being born. So that nobody will see what is going on until it’s too late, probably? And "we" won't be needing to be dealing with it in the usual tried tested and true manner, such as with wars and starvations, those have become too problematic. probably? Hmm. Well, that’s as much of this as I’m going to be able to stomach in one sitting, therefore, I implore you to, go read the story for yourself.
