We have always longed for “peace” in the reality in which we live, to be able to live in a calm way and without conflicts with other people, to be able to be equal and that no one has more than others. This has been mentioned in the first chapter of the book, people live in “community”, they are all completely the same and there isn’t difference, everyone lives their lives quietly and without worrying about differences. All this is possible thanks to the fact that the ancestors of these people paid a very high price, they decide to lose their memories in order to obtain that equality, it doesn’t matter if the memories are painful or not that was the path they wanted to take.
