The first frame of the comic strip would picture a woman (who on most days was a joyous mother and wife) seated at the bottom of a well. She called it her 'Well of Resentment.' No one could reach her to pull her out; she needed to stand up and let go of the resentment which kept her isolated and angry.
In the parable of the Prodigal Son, the Elder Brother has his own Well of Resentment. If he refuses to stand up and leave the anger and resentment behind he's going to miss the party. The Father invites him. Which way will he turn? To the Father or into himself?
