While reading about the high Maternal Mortality Rates in the Tea Gardens of our country, I came across this statement by Rev. Charles Dowding which perhaps encapsulates much more wisdom than the obvious context of it. In 1894, he had remarked ,"Low wage-rate and High death-rate are convertible terms".
The statement hits you beyond the realms of MMR and you suddenly find yourself amidst the dichotomies of Pessimism-Optimism, of Cynicism-Constructive Criticism, of Devilish-Godlike and of Ugliness-Beauty. And that moving from former to latter is simply a choice. And that they too are, convertibles.
