Very relieved to hear that the misery is all for a good cause.
It makes one think: instead of spending so much on antimalarial bednets, wouldn't it be more efficient to just wait to see which kids die, and then distribute paper, ink, and quills to their grieving families? (Though critics will say this undermines the vital role of the state in subsidizing poetry, which developing country governments were surely just about to do before the pesky philanthropists came along...)
Additionally, what could be more important than making sure that future generations continue to possess moral knowledge? And so we must insure that they suffer — disproportionately and arbitrarily — so that they may know its evil.
