"...he had secretly dreamed of a freedom without limits...."

"He sees only injustice. And this betrays the fact that he too had secretly dreamed of a freedom without limits, that his obedience has made him inwardly bitter, and that he has no awareness of the grace of being at home, of the true freedom that he enjoys as a son." 

-- Pope Benedict XVI, in Jesus of Nazareth, 
on the point of view of the older brother, 
in the parable of the prodigal son
