Reviews
On Jan 25 2012, Patrick1952 said:
Dicken's asks a unique question of whether it would be beneficial for mankind to forget the heartaches, wrongs, and injustices that we suffer during our personal lifetime? And points out the dehumanizing affect the absence of common remembrance of suffering would have upon most of us. And perhaps also, the only real way of coping with our own misfortunes is to try to alleviate the suffering of others.
