Really interesting looking at the cultural side of Sri Lanka and some of the sad situations, but also closed/open adoption or surrogacy situations. I thought the ending of discussing the pitfalls of viewing yourself as a victim, and posture towards those who hurt you was told in a very profound way and appreciated that.
