Stubborn people who enjoy arguing and wrangling are hollow and empty. They struggle against others to the point of exhaustion and, though they’re dog tired, refuse to give way.

Some commentators have called it the Parable of the Elder Son. Indeed, the behavior of the elder son is striking. On his return home, he was told of the return of his younger brother. He refused to enter the house and accused his father of being unfair to him. The charge was based on the fact that he worked day and night and wasn’t properly rewarded, unlike the prodigal son who’d spent his substance on harlots but who, when he came back, was given a ...
