Each our desire bring us somewhere. If we want something it cannot be just a simple wish. Our desires are given to us by the Universe. In fact, they are given to us for any reason. On the way to reach it or obtain it we acquire enormous treasures. The final scene of the book proves that the reality does not always meet our expectations. That sometimes we have to struggle seriously hard circumstances ... However, even the worst things on the way of reaching desired things lead to huge attainments in life perspectives.
