I find that this parable still leaves a strange taste in my mouth. There's a pressure to be productive in here that resonates with a capitalistic, profit seeking motive. I think that resonance is a confusion for theft of surplus for the sharing in our collective earnings. Still, the discomfort is there and shows the way capitalism warps us and our ability to read the Gospels.
Andrew,
I find that this parable still leaves a strange taste in my mouth. There's a pressure to be productive in here that resonates with a capitalistic, profit seeking motive. I think that resonance is a confusion for theft of surplus for the sharing in our collective earnings. Still, the discomfort is there and shows the way capitalism warps us and our ability to read the Gospels.
