The prodigal son is one who uses reason and intelligent. Obviously, he thought of death and even though he may have thought of given up on his right as a son to his Abu, still he had hope for the love he knew he originated from that in his heart had a place. Therefore, he followed his heart! Fear is also a characteristic in the sense of dying in a state that was obviously not the life versus living in a state that was with purposeful meaning!

Another answer:

One of several lessons to glean from the parable of the prodigal son (Luke 15:11-24) is that his character was completely transformed by his experience.

As the parable begins, he's shown to be greedy, unappreciative, headstrong, selfish, wasteful, ignorant and short-sighted.

By the time he returns, he's appreciative, humble and contrite to the point that he only wishes to rejoin his father's household as a servant rather than a son, having fully realized the value of what he once abandoned.
