Moral: Many knocks on the door of justice, but the thing is, the world is crucial and even
justice has requirements. Justice by which equity must be serve equally has become
manipulated by the system where the capability to defend oneself or attain justice is
dependent to those who can afford it. We are living in the painful truth wherein WEALTH is the
ideal ticket to survive in the unfair society of rich and poor.

where a massive of people

his wife got sick. His only way to
support his wife's medical

the
reason was that the captain wanted
him to leave the field.
