The need to be many

I'll get to the point: "A man's family is an outcome of his need to be many".

The whole affair smells of the vedanta.

Of one being many and many being one.

Wow!

Less

Less is indeed more. Think of it.
The more profound the thought you have to convey, fewer the words you'll need.
Sanskrit sholkas are usually one liners.
"Bhaja Govindam" by Adi Shankara, a page and a half.
Ten commandements.
The Bhagvad Gita, 700 verses...guaranteed to last a lifetime or more.
"I love you".
"Quit India"
"I am"
and in the words of the ancients...
"Om"

Thus by this logic management books every semester should be the size of telephone directories or " The detailed Indian census report". Which they are... QED.
