I have sent you this letter to inform you that I will be leaving the community and never coming back. Please don't be alarmed, for the rest of the letter will tell you more about the cause of my disappearance. My recent training with the Giver has been extremely hard to take in. You may have wondered why I was so quiet at the dinner table; of why I hardly made any conversation during our little gatherings at the end of the day. It was because of what I have learn't over the year. See, training with the Giver has brought me to realize that our world is cruel, merciless and heartless, and that it is full of harsh mistakes. Really harsh mistakes. I found it extremely hard to believe, even though everything that the giver gives is the truth. Being in our community, has made me believe that the world was always safe, that it was never surrounded by such heartless and cold blooded killers; never surrounded by hate or violence. But training with the Giver has exposed me to such. It just hurt thinking about it. I mean, how could I have told you? I just couldn't! And that was it, I confess. That was the reason why I was so quiet during our little talks during dinner time. I feel ashamed to lie towards my own dear mother and father. And for that, I'm truly sorry. I beg for your forgiveness. However, I did receive private training, training that was not to be told towards anyone else, and I couldn't deny that. But then I saw it. I saw the one thing that changed my life. I saw what had happened to that poor little twin. Yes father, I saw what you did. Do not try to deny it.
That's why I left. I couldn't stand such horror, I couldn't stand that you....you murdered him!
I will not stay in this community any longer. These are my last words, I wish you and mother a very happy life. Please don't take my precision of language to seriously, for I will say this last thing. I love you.
Your's truely,
Jonas.
