About the Item

People believe money is power in my society - because the leaders steal money to oppress and suffer the poor. But I realize the opposite of this is the purpose of living. We are all alive to put smiles on other fellow human faces, so If you are blessed with any kind of resources, use them to improve other people’s lives and make them happy. With this, inner fulfillment sets in and the purpose of existence is being achieved.
