You've beautifully captured the horrifying essence of not just how we often arrive at the wrong conclusions through a series of seemingly logical decisions, but more importantly how our simplistic reasoning causes widespread suffering that could so easily have been avoided. I would argue that this very aspect of human reasoning is at the core of what most ails us in this modern world.

A profound and succinct parable of short-sighted, economic-based family planning. Not to mention the moral aspect. Well done, as always, Reena.

Jarring. Facts are merely boulders to be avoided on the path of our beliefs.
