Who says that overpopulation is not a threat to this world? Well
everyone except Dan Brown. I say what a story! For the first time in history
(as far as I know), a novelist have tried to write a story concerning the most
life-threatening disease of all time, OVERPOPULATION. It may seem as a complete
non-sense to talk about population. People of this world don’t care if the
world will be flooded by not water like the Atlantis, but by its own
terrorists.
Well at
least the book doesn’t directly attack the Christian religion like the previous
ones but the religion is still involve, or should I say the word of the Lord. It
is in the bible that the birth of a child is the happiness of a woman and the
society and that you cannot enter the heaven of the Lord without being a child
to Him like His own son, Jesus Christ. A child is a gift to this world. Indeed
we are gifts of this world and I say I am a daughter of the Lord and a sister
to Jesus Christ. But can the Lord my Father blames me to ask Him if the
population is now too densely for the world He created to hold? I say yes He
can blame me in questioning it for that is the main reason why were born, to
reproduce and let the newborns eye to enjoy the sight of the world He have
given to us. But can He tolerate that
the world He created are now being flooded by dense people gradually submerging
in the underworld? I guess He can’t. Yes He wanted us to live but
overpopulation is a serious case to humanity.
And
that is a reality Dan Brown saw. He once again used the character of Robert
Langdon to disseminate to the world the problem of overpopulation. Though he
have used judgmental words against a country, I say this story is great wherein
he implanted the work of Dante Alighieri, the Inferno the stage of passing hell
towards the paradise. He has used abstractly the Inferno in relating to the
real problem. Even though the story was devilish, a plague that will be
released to erased 1/3 of the world’s population. I say I hated the fact that
he as well discriminated my own country as he described it as “the gates of hell” and that the
Philippines is the most densely populated country in the whole world. The fact
that he pointed out the malicious side of the country, from all the crimes
surrounding the land to gangsters of raping a foreigner, Filipinos have hated
him. But after analyzing the story a bit more, I came to realize one thing even
though I do not know if I and Dan Brown have the same interpretations of his
masterpiece.
As far
as I am concern, Dan Brown has used the Philippines as a medium to let the
world open their eyes on the adverse effects of overpopulation. I believe he
used the Philippines in the manner that this country is not the only country
which has these kinds of evil crimes but each of all the countries have their
hideous mysteries. I want to believe that the Philippines and all countries
have another face, the face of peace and unity.
But I
love how Dan Brown manipulated again the story words cannot actually express
how marvelous it is. That is why he is my inspiration. The manipulation I have
in the stories I have formulated (but not written yet) was based on the playful
mind tricks of Brown. In the story, especially at the end, you don’t need to
kill people just to lessen the population of this world; sterility can be of
choice as well. If the program of the World Health Organization cannot work
because of the influence of the Christian religion like Sex Education in all
schools and communities and the use of contraceptives as a part of the Family
Planning method; then a pandemic disease can do the work, infertility or
sterility. Though the solution is a bit harsh, if people will not understand
the importance of birth control methods, then the least they will expect from
the concerned citizens of this world about population is releasing a deathly
method.
And
that for me, is the main reason why Inferno is published, to open the eyes of
humanity on the serious threat of overpopulation and to make them realize that
the plans of WHO is for their safety and of this world. This is as well to
enlighten the Christian religion about the method of science of securing the
safeness of the world. I hope the world is reading this now and I hope that
this will help us to understand the nature of humanity.
