What a load of nonsense! What an abhorrent immoral misleading pile of lies!
The world would've been a Hellish landscape, in a far worse shape than it is now, if people left everyone and everything behind in pursuit of what the voice in their head told them.
This book is corrupt to its vile core, preaching and praising selfishness above all and many other vices on the way.
The Alchemist is not a roadmap to fulfilling dreams, but a dreamy escape from reality, leading to misery, self-centeredness, and a total lack of compassion and understanding towards other fellows.
