[Spock allowed himself to completely relax and let go of all his shielding so that Lupin could get a better understanding of what Spock was saying.]
[With a half smile he started story with a cliche...]
Once upon a time... there was a boy who tried so hard to prove himself of his worthiness that he forgot about who was around him and who he might be unintentionally hurting. So one day the young boy decided to take matters into his own hands and without telling his parents went out on his own to prove to his peers that he could be as good as them. He did not consider his parents feelings because he believed that they were not important. Eventually the boy became lost as was attacked by a wild animal. When the boy was found his parents were mad and kept him in the house for a long time while he healed. Every time he tried to leave the house his mother became upset, or angry. When the boy finally confronted her about this and asked 'why' she said that she was 'worried' and 'because I care about you'... this was an illogical answer for the boy. But the boy later realized that what his mother meant was exactly that....she was worried. And though it seemed illogical at the time, caring about someone can make you act in ways contrary to your nature..and it is important to remember this and be patient with the ones who care about you.
[Spock closed his eyes and concentrated...]
...And I will never expect you to be any more than who you are sa-kai. Let go of your anger and frustrations and as you say...let them come to you. And they will...]
