It's important to know how people will treat others, even if what you're doing is harmless. With so much hatred around us, school shootings and cyber bullying being a thing now, it's scary to think what children nowadays have to face compared to what we went through growing up. We hesitate because we want the innocence of childhood to last as long as possible, not just for them, but for us who might have lost it early as well, to live vicariously through them. This talk is the first step of creating the persona we don't necessarily want to create because our true selves are much more beautiful and should be cherished instead.

I find this whole arc to be extremely reminiscent of my childhood

Better to know it from someone that cares for you. Instead of learning the hard way.
