Philosophical gratitude

Shalom Rabbi, in the fifth notebook on faith, you wrote about “philosophical gratitude” on the basis of which one should worship God today, and you compared it to the ontological attachment that parents have for their child who was taken from them through no fault of their own, but here (unlike the case with the parents) God “abandoned” us through His fault, so it seems that the comparison is incorrect…so why is it correct?

(For some reason I think I answered this) He did not abandon us, but allowed us to grow up. The comparison I made was not between his abandonment and the abandonment of parents, but rather I used the situation of an abandoned child to emphasize that his commitment to his parents is not just out of gratitude.
