History destines everyone to have his own vocation and mission in life. Moreover, there are neither big nor small parts to play. It is only your personal deliberate responsibility that gives you a chance to write your own book of life, in which everyone plays the part of either creator or destroyer of yourself and the world.
To be who you are is what our life is. That is why you should not assume the parts and images of others. Because you and your vocation in the world are unique.
