The "Prodigal" father does NOT go after his son.

Ok, imagine, God forbid, that a world-wide plague of unimaginable viciousness is raging and ravaging the world. You are an unknown, uncredentialed researcher and have just developed a vaccination / cure. Do you feel superior? YOU FEEL OBLIGATED.

I feel obligated.

Jesus felt obligated. Yet, the Prodigal Father did not chase after his son. Jesus did not chase after the Rich Young Man.

Jesus can not have been careless in these points. Clearly he taught that we are to become the cure and to make it available.

BUT WE ARE NOT TO
CHASE AFTER THE PATIENTS,
AS THIS WILL PROLONG
THE PERIOD OF TIME
IT TAKES FOR THEM TO
"RECOGNIZE" AND SEEK
THE "CURE."

My biological father, a brilliant "cure" in his own right, knew and practiced this excruciating self-restraint. I am being forced by "failure" to try to learn and practice this wisdom.
