In that town, named Pokeville, they had found a poor pirate. This pirate was seen as someone who had done a complete change, a good change. In that town was where this pirate meet the preacher who helped him turn his life around. The preacher helped the pirate by telling him that he should start all over again as a better person, the preacher open the pirates eyes to see that their is more than just a pirate life. From this he took it upon himself to try to raise money to go back to the island where the rest of the pirates are and change their lives.
Its a good feeling to have when you make or help someone change their life around, into a more better life. You know you changed for the better and or you help someone change because they needed a change in their life. And if that inspires that person to try to help others turn their life around, its great. As long as its for the best. Those people I would consider as someone that I would look up to. Because it would be like someone telling you what to do and them not having done it or do the complete opposite. No its them actually talking about their experience and how that helped them change. :)
