What if he was right?
What if he was right? If nothing he did was going to reconcile him with his children? If no job opportunity would provide him with sufficient income? If what had been changed in his mind about his value, or lack of value, was a permanent change? Then maybe this overshad owed the love and concern of his family members, his friends and his faith. If all these things are true who are we to say that he was wrong?
