Hazels ignorant against Jesus‚ that even if he existed and had him

At least it let the world know what happened is Africa at that time. How bad a place it was. How people suffer in that situation. It informed people what’s guilty and evil‚ what’s justice and goodness. A selfish smuggler still has love and righteous.
