There is a threshold in the human psyche that defines who we are. In this aspect we reach an understanding that is undefined with what we have perceived in the knowing our entire lives. For example prejudice, I suppose this is the thing that alienates us from the Natural Law or in some sense in a different philosophical views "enlightenment" when we reach that threshold we perceived the world differently.
As it is shown with the two young boy sharing this aspect, different but similar state. I suppose this aspect made them accept each other mending their fragilities, their aspirations, and all together their outlook in life. If you delve in deeply, it what makes us human.
Thought provoking. I give it a 5.
