Personal Guidance
On those islands, longevity, strength, intelligence, and bravery are naturally equal in all the inhabitants. Where the modes of nature are favorable, qualities are evenly distributed; in our world, inequalities are a feature of harder soil. Don't blame yourself for the difficulty of where you are; here, things are harder by design.
