Kite Runner has SO many meanings in it. The author of the story is trying to teach us more than just one lesson. The meat of the whole story though is trying to show us how Amir made the wrong choice by not doing anything about Hassan when they were young. Because it was something that haunted him for the rest of his life.
When he was an older man and finally went back to his homeland, he found that Hassan was shot and killed and then his wife was followed right after and Hassans son was left as an orphan. If Amir had done differently when he was younger, Hassan might have still been alive and his son wouldn't have been alone.
The affects of what he had done left the son trying to commit suicide and then taking a vow of silence. We learn from this by obviously not only always sticking by your true friends through thick and thin, but also keeping those who have always been faithful, close to you.
Hassan had always been a true friend and Amir failed to be the same. We must learn to be humble and loyal like Hassan no matter what. Hassan never hated Amir even after what they went through, and we need to all learn to not hate, no matter what someone has done.
