It came from “natural reduction“ and then
increase of population.
As when naturally the population is
increasing, it is automatically being
decreased by aforementioned term called
“natural reduction”,and then again it is
increasing (which has regardance with
recurring process, but not leading to an
ultimate end of ceasing).

origination and then the obsessive wish, why
not to be the part of such tremendous work,
which will have impactful effect on society, its
people and forthcoming generations. Which
might be having interest in generating
something extraordinary than this.
