I hope that conventions and rules can be changed, and people are brave to pursue their dreams and dare to take risks. The rich should not waste resources because of being rich, and poor families should not give up trying to reshape their quality of life because of poverty. Everyone deserves a quality life, and everyone deserves the opportunity to enjoy luxury and comfort. Individuals share weal and woe, and climate, democratic issues, and scarcity of resources are closely related to everyone.
