Just like Rabindranath Tagore's line in his famous poem "Debotar Gras" ("Chol Toke Diye Asi Sagorer Jole") ; each and every comment, write-up or action must be judged according to the context instead of going through the mere literal meaning.
In that Tagore poem, a young mother was proceeding towards Ganga Sagar with a group of pilgrims by boat. Her little son was scheduled to stay with her aunt. But the boy was adamant that he would also accompany her. The head of the group softly asked the woman to take her son along with them. The angry mother agreed, but also remarked in exasperation---"I will sacrifice you in the waters of Sagar"!
