Going Upstream...

“One day, there was a group of people walking alongside a river when they suddenly saw a baby floating in a basket precariously downstream. The group quickly linked hands and went into the river to save the baby. After much effort, they managed to bring the baby back to the banks – to a place of relative safety. As they were coming out of the river, they saw another baby floating by. Again, they quickly linked hands and managed to save the baby. Alas, they saw a third, fourth and fifth baby floating down the river rapidly. 


They saw to their horrors of horrors that one person had deserted their group of helpers and was walking away angrily. The group asked, “Hey, why don’t you come back and help us!” The man replied, “You go and save the baby. I am going upstream to stop whoever is throwing the babies.”
