Human beings have long been engaged in the quest to discover their true selves. Men’s search for their true nature is not an effortless path. They sometimes face difficulties and challenges on the path of finding themselves. They lose their loved ones, they suffer pain, and they make difficult decisions. These painful events enable them to gain a clearer understanding of themselves. Humans sometimes make fake images of themselves. It is very difficult to break free from those images and see themselves, as vulnerable human beings who are of little help to humanity. The journey undertaken by the characters shows their courage, will, and determination. The result is them emerging triumphant and acting as role models for others who would be undertaking similar journeys in their lives.
