So, it's a very optimistic story. If some of you are utterly despaired, well of course it certainly won't fix the problem(s), but it could be food for thought.

In general, I'd be curious to know what did you think of this story (its very long tho compared to my usual posts, so theyre might not be a lot of readers)

Thinking of adding a comment section in the future

I've read just about all of his works, and this is a great example of his short stories.
