The only difference between man and man all the world over i

Summary

This quote suggests that all human beings are essentially the same, with the differences among individuals being only a matter of degree rather than some distinct and inherent dissimilarity. It compares this notion to trees of the same species, highlighting that while they may vary in size or shape, they are fundamentally of the same kind. The quote questions why there should be any basis for negative emotions like anger, envy, or discrimination when the inherent sameness among humans should promote equality and understanding.

Never give up. It's like breathing - once you quit, your flame dies letting total darkness extinguish every last gasp of hope. You can't do that. You must continue taking in even the shallowest of breaths, continue putting forth even the smallest of efforts to sustain your dreams. Don't ever, ever, ever give up.
