The deeds of the preceding life give direction to the present life.
Every moral has a story, every story has and end. Every battle has its glory, and its consequence.
Every story, every poem, every written piece is about belonging. There is a me, there is a we, there is an us, and we want to belong to it or we don't want to belong. You can read every story with this as its main focus.
