I found the letter to his parents, in which he explains at great length how people should lead their lives, rather condescending. His parents probably have much more experience with life than he does, and have lived through difficulties that he can't even imagine (e.g., his stepfather grew up in the Soviet Union). Some of the points in his letter are things that he'll probably change his mind on later. For example:<p><i>"I would die absolutely happy if I died right now."</i><p>Clearly, he has no children or anyone else who depend on him for support. Someone who is responsible for the lives of others would probably not be happy to find out that they only had a short time to live. But hey, he's not even responsible for himself:<p><i>"Please don't disown me yet though. I really need a place to stay before my start ups get funded. I don't even have money for food right now."</i><p>So he's just informed his parents, via e-mail, that he's (1) flushed all the money they paid for his college expenses down the drain and (2) expects them to support him indefinitely (what if his startup doesn't get funded?). He's put them in the difficult position of having to choose between supporting him and letting him go homeless, without even the courtesy of asking them if they had the desire or resources to support him. (Presumably his parents are trying to save for their retirement and for his little sister's education, and would much rather he started paying his own way.) Those are the actions of an immature, entitled child.
