I emphasize it because a lot of proposals for reform that we are getting ignore the fact that this is the institution where all members make decisions ; it is not an institutions in which one group of countries tells another group of countries what to do . The Last Messages tells the story of a fictitious executive in Finland who resigns from his job and travels throughout Europe and India , keeping in touch with his friends and relatives only through text messages . Guadalupe is a " vision " story and like all such stories tells us something about God and something about ourselves . And each mix of individual stories tells a much larger story about the complex world we all inhabit . Their very ability to frame the issue in such terms tells us something about the media , which are now full of things that you can only say with a straight face if you control the media ( e.g ., that Al Gore claimed to have invented the Internet ) . From China to Burma , Afghanistan to America , this collection of 14 familiar and little-known stories tells the tales of sons , brothers , kings , and trolls - - men and boys united by a common heroism that comes from strength of character , wisdom , and compassion .
