Acharya Prashant addresses the distress caused by witnessing child exploitation, explaining that the condition of these children reflects the broader state of a sick and cunning society. He argues that suffering is not limited to the exploited; the exploiter is equally miserable but hides it through cunning. The root cause of such exploitation lies in collective social beliefs and the very foundation upon which society is built. He points out that child labor often persists because of general social acceptance and complicity, where people may criticize a shop owner for employing a child while simultaneously consuming the services provided by that child.
