There is no definitive answer to what the true heart of humanity is. One could respond that one always does what satisfies one's current desires. Another might suggest that a desire for purpose is what drives us. One may even say that the imperfections of humans are what define them. However, there can be no definitive answer to such a question.This literary short story collection contains eight distinct tales that attempt to answer these questions. Each responds to them differently, with four of the stories doing so through the eyes of teens and four through a fantasy and mythological lens. Each also represents a form of art. Humanity is greatly highlighted through art, and that is a focus of the collection.The heart of humanity may be veiled behind these many questions, but addressing them should always be more appealing than ignoring them. Unless, of course, attempting to answer an impossible question is simply illogical.
