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.
Ptah Hotep
