Nice thread:

I like this one.

Can you create a spiritual son with the grace of God

If he is righteous

If he conforms to your values

And if he takes care of your goods as well

Shower him with gifts

He is indeed your true son

He carries the seed of your kin, of your soul.

Do not let your hearts be sundered

But the seed of a man can engender conflict

If your son goes wrong

If he ignores your advice

If he is disobedient and insolent to all that you say

If he is rude and contemptuous

Drive him away

He is not your son.
