This book has very insightful messages, one of them is that we are really connected to each other, whether we realized it or not. Sometimes the connection is very vague, sometimes we may unintentionally suffer other's life, and sometimes we just not realize that there are people who 'sacrifice' themself for us. On the other side, sometimes we may find how bad, how suffering the life is, though the real gift of life are sometimes covered behind it.
