This book contains many lives and at least one of them may touch yours... You can trace your own life by holding onto that contact piece. The stories may resemble your own or those of people you know... Maybe at some point what the author sees and what you see may coincide or maybe they touch each other slightly... Certainly what you will see will depend on where and how you hold the flashlight in your hand as you read this book...
Nevertheless I believe that everyone who reads the book will understand the "human being" described in the book. Undoubtedly some will misunderstand but what is "right" and "wrong" other than an uncanny uncertainty!
