- Book Intro
-
The king of “Kind Land” orders that everything he does not like to be thrown away. He claims that only “kind things” should be in “Kind Land” and that everything he does not want to look at should be considered “unkind things.” As a result, many things begin to disappear from the country. Everything is thrown away under the rule and judgement the king has made, and finally the king alone is left in the kind country.
Everyone has a different point of view when it comes to what is right or wrong. However, when you are self-centered and believe you are the right one, you will end up miserable.
