About This Quote
If we were to compare the different cultures of the world, we would see that they are not fundamentally different people. They are merely people who live in different ways. If we were to compare the town of Pine Sap and the town of New York City, for example, there would be some differences based on their location and history. However, if we were to compare them on the basis of their values and beliefs, we would see that there is very little difference between them. Pine Sap has its own traditions and customs, just like any other town does.
