The true meaning of communication
"The meaning of communication is the response you get, not what you think it means."

The boy must die, so that the man can take his rightful place
It has reached a point of no return. A point where there is no way to run, where there is no place to hide.
The boy, he hides behind someone else, when danger arises.
The boy, he blames other people or outside situations for his errors, mistakes, shortcomings.
The boy, when confronted with anger, will lash out, not even realizing the destructive nature of his behavior.
The boy, he wants his small world to never change, to remain the same. He fears that he won´t have enough to meet his needs.
The boy, he wants to be the center of the universe, the ultimate reason for everything. He will cringe and refuse to hear any reasoning related to his misconception of the world.
The man, he stands straight, looks danger in the eyes, and smiles, knowing he can, and he will be up to the task.
The man, he is humble enough to recognize that humans aren´t perfect, humans have flaws. He is willing to experience failure, to take risks, in order to achieve his ultimate goals. It doesn´t matter how many failures, how many errors will he commit. He is confident enough to get himself back up and take action, for he understand that any error, any mistake is an opportunity for improving himself, his life.
The man, when confronted with anger, will make an effort to transmute the anger into positive energy, in order to fuel his whole being into construtive action and decision. He knows that dumping his anger on others is immature, short-sighted behavior.
The man, he understands that the world is a huge network, where everyone has their place, where there is abundancy for those who strive to achieve. He doesn´t fear scarcity, for he knows he is capable of taking care of himself and is able to control his life.
The man, he knows how huge the world is, how different people can be. He knows that while you must be able to co-exist with other human beings as a society, you also need to be selfish. But, above all that, the man realizes that fullfilment in life only reaches when you learn to balance those two essencial traits for humans to survive.
Young snakes shed their older skin, in order to be able to replace it with a new, more evolved skin.
Young eagles are thrown off the safety of the nest and must be able to fly, to hunt and to protect itself, all on their own.
As such, the boy must die.
Only then, the man will rise from the ashes of the boy, and take the steps to achieve fullfilment in his life.
