This young man is a passionate advocator, who is constantly spreading spiritual and social advancement ideas that lift up his fellow man.

His ideas are therefore completely hypothetical. However, if he were to choose to use them, and undertake the journey of his suit, his purity of heart could lead him to find better fortunes.
