About This Quote
The death of one is a tragedy, but death of a million is just a statistic. If we could save the life of one person, it would be better than saving the lives of a million people. If there are several people out there who are in need of help, it doesn't make sense to sacrifice one life for the sake of many. A statistic is an important way to look at how many people are affected by an issue. However, statistics can be manipulated to make it seem like there is more impact than there actually is.
