The Sermon Of The Key, And Of The Chains.

When he slowly opened up his fist, he noticed something there that he'd never ever seen before, something that had been there all that time, but unnoticed and hidden to his view.

Now it was revealed to him, a tiny golden key that fit perfectly into every lock, on every chain, that had ever held him. He realized that he'd actually placed them all on himself (quite willingly, if the truth be told) , and that he had always had that key.

Once freed of those chains, he was forever also free of making the same mistake ever again. It had taken a long time, but one sometimes has to pay a heavy price to learn a valuable lesson.
