Being a children, we walked along the river bank and caught a small fish. She was called a thorn, because she had three spiny thorns on her back. This little fish was hiding from us, hammering to our feet.
Feeling prick, we understood - the fish caught. She thought she was saved. All people hide from troubles and strive for what is pleasant. So their destiny is determined.
All the sins of a person take the forms of various fears and drive him towards his own destiny, which seems to him the only escape that gives happiness. Even if we forget about our sins, they remember us. A calf from a thousand cows immediately recognizes his mother and will come to her.
