Babies in the Water

A man is walking alongside a river. He glances down to find babies in the water floating downstream. Instantly he jumps in the river and starts pulling babies out of the water. They continue to come, and he is frantically trying to save them all. A woman sitting nearby starts running upstream. "Where are you going?!" he exclaims "Get in here and help me save these babies!" She responds explaining "I am going upstream to see where these babies are coming from and who keeps on putting them in the water."

Upstream vs. Downstream thinking. We need both to function as a society. Which one are you?
