The inclination of the heart is very important to the success of the relationships that humans have. When our hearts lean towards relationships, with God or men, there we will find wisdom and wise people. Conversely, when we find rebellious people, or those who are pugnacious and oriented toward quarreling, there we will also find fools. This has to do with the fact that God is, at his essential level, a relational being. Since wisdom is derivative of God’s nature, wisdom is also a relational thing. Therefore, several things might be wise to do that may drive distance between a child and parent. Discipline can easily create wedges. Yet, these things must be driven from reconciliation. Indeed a parent who uses discipline, not as reconciliation but retribution, often destroys his relationship with his child. The overarching narrative must be for the sake of love and the hope of reconciliation. When this is there, wisdom can be had, gleaned and cultivated. If people just prefer to be at enmity with each other, then they are just fools. This will bear itself out as they are seen ti be insufferable. That is to say that no one will be willing to suffer their foolishness for the reward of relationship with them.
