About This Quote
The story of the girl who played go is a powerful one. She was brought up in a culture where honor, loyalty, and loyalty are the most important things. It is also a culture where materialism is highly valued. If you are not loyal to your family or friends, then you are not worth anything.
Her story is one of complete betrayal. The most painful thing about this story is that she is completely innocent. She had no idea that she was being betrayed by the people closest to her.
She had never been involved with crime or poverty and had never betrayed anyone. However, because of her culture and way of life, she was unable to feel that she was being betrayed.
