They say that people feed off of one another, but this isn't wholly true. As long as we face the difficulties of living a free, honorable life respectful to nature, then unity is certainly possible. We can only achieve this dream if we put away our prejudice without fooling ourselves. We need to fight to get what we deserve for our hard work.

To tell you the truth, no matter what part of this Earth we live in and no matter how different our languages, cultures, economic situations, or even our beliefs, we all share the same human emotions and thoughts. Anger, aggression, resentment, hatred, vengeance, hypocrisy, prejudice, and intolerance! But we also have love, compassion, honor, and family ties. This list could be extended so much more. This audiobook contains but a few from the millions of these types of stories that have defined the journey of humanity for thousands of years.
