Every living being, no matter how seemingly insignificant or simple, has its own unique nature and way of thinking. We need to appreciate and respect the individuality and characteristics of all creatures, no matter how small or unassuming they may appear.

The people of Iceland are my ancestors, and the stubborn desire to be independently self-sufficient remains in their descendants in Canada.
