Acharya Prashant questions the basis of sympathy towards people with physical or mental disabilities. He posits that if a child is born with one arm, one should first ask what they themselves, with two arms, have achieved. He points out that the entire human race has two arms, yet it is important to question what people actually accomplish with them. He suggests that people often act as if they are greatly blessed and that the "elixir of the heavens is raining upon" them, which forms the foundation of their misplaced sympathy. The speaker extends this argument to intellectual abilities, using the example of someone sympathizing with a baby born with a low IQ. He challenges the person with a supposed 120 IQ to reflect on what great intelligence they have displayed in their own life. He directly questions the perceived value of being a "normal kid," asking what is so special about them in the first place. This line of reasoning reveals that sympathy is often an act of gloating over one's own "great fortune" while simultaneously pitying those who do not have "matching fortunes." To illustrate further, he presents a scenario of two women: "Dolly," who cannot give birth and is pitied, and "Lolly," who has given birth ten times. He urges the listener to first examine Lolly's life before feeling sympathy for Dolly, implying that the ability to procreate does not inherently make a life superior. He asks how one can definitively know that a person with an IQ of 60 leads a life inferior to a scientist with an IQ of 135, questioning if life is merely a "thing of numbers." This same attitude of superiority, he concludes, is what makes humans believe they are superior to all other life forms, leading them to think they can rule over, use, and destroy them because they feel privileged with an able body and a better brain.
