Righteousness canalways beat evil. I think this is what the author wants to tell.Although there are many ugly things in the world, we must believethat righteousness can always beat evil.
We must storekindness even though we are in ugly situation. One is poor if hedoesn’t have kindness. One is rich if he has kindness. So pleasestore your kindness in your mind.
