Universal Theme

I am about half way into my book and I think one of the universal themes is that you need to look beyond yourself or "work for the good of the whole not the individual". In the book Jason is ticked off that he isn't being allowed to "help with the fight against D’Orsay" to save the Wizards. This is making him reckless. Instead of listening and helping in the ways they ask, he makes decisions without thinking and creates more problems and negative things happen to him. In addition, he thinks that they treat him like a little kid who can't be trusted do anything right. Well, because of the reckless things he does, he looks like a little kid. Therefore, those around him think he is reckless and don't trust him. This is a self-fulfilling prophecy.
