"The greatest proof of Christianity for others is not how far a man can logically analyze his reason for believing, but how far in practice he will stake his life on his belief."
-T.S. Eliot
There once was a boy, who loved his Father very much. He wanted to be with his father all the time. He thought that everything his father did was great and admirable. He also had a lot of fun with him. They would play games together and read books.
His father had a dream to change the world. The boy wanted to be with his father at all times, but his father wanted to change the world more than he wanted to be with his little boy. So the boy spent his whole life trying to show his father that he loved him and that he wanted to change the world, too. But his father didn't see how it would work with the both of them. He thought that his son would be a hindrance to his own pursuit of purpose and greatness.
The boy realized one day, that he could change the world too. The boy realized that his father would do great things regardless. The boy then set out to change the world on his own, because he knew that his own life was not worth wasting on trying to live someone else's dream.
