Question of the Week for

September 20

When have I resented the generosity shown to someone else? When have I failed to realize the generosity

shown to me?

You can almost hear laborers who worked all day crying out, “It’s not fair!” They’re right, of course. It really isn’t fair. They worked a lot longer and a lot harder and at the end of the day received the same amount. Even viewed from the landowner’s perspective, it’s wrongheaded. Who is going to volunteer to work all day the following day, knowing that they could show up with an hour to go and get the same pay? But, as the landowner says, he did not cheat anyone. The dedicated workers received exactly what they were promised: a just wage. The landowner’s generosity to the latecomers doesn’t change the amount they received at all, which is

what they agreed to in the first place. Yet, while the latecomers feel grateful, the others feel envy and resentment.
