Humans constantly struggle with moral values that at times are at odds with their personal desires. The conflict felt by those apparent dilemmas does not mitigate everyone's participation in the toils that is life. The values identified in this book are universal. The pains and joys are experienced by all, and everyone has his or her methods of coping, be it prayer or simply talking to a good friend. Each value herein is preceded by a relevant quote from a luminary, and then the author expounds upon the principle put forth. The rest is up to the reader - to engage with, reflect upon, and ultimately surrender to the human condition with the knowledge that we are all united.
