The Great Temptation is the cause for low birth rates, greed, immorality, selfishness, impatience, and material excess that is common in the 21st century. This vice can be excised well before the 22nd century, but people need to go deep down within their hearts, re-assess their priorites, and agree to live a life without the decadence, luxuries, and excess that started in the 1980s and forces us to choose between parenthood and structured vacations with family members. Inabilities to balance a family budget can also be used as an excuse to postpone or cancel childbirth.
