Women

 People having same set of sex chromosome and people who are willing to conduct themselves according to the social expectations around the former.

Population and planet

Human population on the planet have reached 8 billion recently, this is the highest number in history. At the same time, fertility rates also have fallen to 1.1, below replacement level. So do we have more; or less human beings, than we can carry? I personally think, Earth as a whole is undergoing a transition, just as predicted by demographic transition theory. Hence, we should refrain from too much interference. Encouraging people to have fewer kids as well as encouraging people to have many kids, is counter productive at this stage. Policy should instead focus on leveling measures like, migration, social security and rule of law.

Tragedy

 Tragedy of life is not burying a dead body. It is being in love with someone who is not in love with you. Every manifestation of that hurts, deeply, like a dagger into your heart. It is there every minute of your being. You just move on with it.
