The best part that stood me up was the last moment when he wanted his father to appear besides him and answer to his questions. Before, he didn't appreciate his father, he hardly spoke to him, he didn't know what is life until his father dies. But now, when he waded into mature life, he understands his father and he sees the essence of life. And now only future will give answers to his questions.

I imagine that one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, that they will be forced to deal with pain.
