This email to Michael Christopher Blocker was food for thought for him. May it be food for thought for others. Warning: Avatar 2 movie spoiler alert.

Mike: So I am sure that your kindness has been a blessing to many people in the prison. You turned my life upside down, but it was necessary to see the snakes. My youth is returning because I stopped trying to make my family normal. It is normal to have some dysfunction but pure hate will pass down for generations to come. It is very scary.
So in Avatar movie this big whale is outcasted because he will kill. It is forbidden to kill. So when the whales are hunted, they are forbidden to fight. They just have to die. The outcast felt lonely and many myths started forming about the outcast. Then one day one of jake sully's sons got lured into a trap by some other mischievous boys. He had to outswim a shark and try not to drown. He couldn't do both. He was trying get air and the shark was going to eat him then the outcast whale ate the shark. The boy finally woke up thinking he was laying on a rock. Until the rock moved. The whale was what he was resting on. The whale saved his life. Thank God that we all have freedom to take a different path. This whale lead the fight against the hunters and the water people. The trap, the encounter, all of it unfolded into a plan that Only the Divine could see. Nothing was ever smooth sailing but people got to see what the outcast was made of. The outcast was a baby when his mother whale was hunted down. He wanted revenge. He finally received it.
Anyway, there were other storylines about various Avatars feeling like a freak because they are hybrids but everyone discovers themselves and what their gifts are. Anyway, once you are released, you will probably discover your other gifts.
