God, the anti-cheaters

This morning I was engaged with one of those stories that Jesus told to explain God's nature and its "rules". It is the story of the workers in the vineyard. Somehow a funny story ...

1 "The kingdom of heaven is like a wine grower, early morning recruited workers for his vineyard. 2 He agreed with them on the usual daily wage and let them work in his vineyard. 3 A few hours later he went standing around again to the market place and saw people who were unemployed. 4 And he sent them into his vineyard, and promised them a fair wage. 5 For the lunch time and about three clock in the afternoon, he still had one more worker. 6 When he came at five in the city clock, he saw again a few people standing around doing nothing. He asked, 'Why did not you work today? " 7 'We have no one wanted, "she replied. 'Go and help with but also in my vineyard, "he called them. 8 On the evening he asked his manager: 'Call the people together and paying them from the payroll! Catch the last one, and listen to the First! " 9 First, then came the last set, and each of them got the full day's pay. 10 Now the other workers said, they would get more. But they were all within the agreed daily wage. 11 Then they complained to the wine: 12 'These people have worked for only an hour and you pay them the same as us. We have toiled all day in the scorching sun! " 13 'My friend', said the wine one of them, 'you done it no wrong! Have not we agreed on that amount? 14 Take your money and go! I want the others to pay as much as you. 15 Finally, I can surely do with my money, what I want! Or are you angry because I am generous? " (The Bible, Matthew, from 20.1 to 15)

Three things strike me:

1. God for the work: he wants us to get involved and not "stand around idle" must. Everyone needs opportunities to participate.
   
2. God gives us (Be) respect and value: Even if one ignored by all others ("We would have no one '), is a task for him, is integrated.
   
3. God leads his firm on the principle of "performance-independent elements of pay." In other words, God does not give us after our performance, but presents to the people for his generous heart. What

for a boss ... The anti-cheaters: The people are not being exploited is not to be condemned to senseless idle standing around to get attention by new respect for themselves and are far more than a "cost".

question is how we treat our fellow-workers: I see in others only a "cost-benefit factor" (What it do for me if I'm that person to care What good is this friendship?) Or equivalent counterpart, which is genaso (Be) wants and deserves respect, as I do?

Is God unjust if it all endowed equally generous - regardless of performance? God, the anti-cheaters: He can not help all to bestow generously to join his "company".
