If you're not useful, you're not useful
The man who is leaving on a journey is God, the Lord of all things. The servants to whom he is entrusting his possessions are humanity. The talents, the currency at Jesus' time, are the gifts that the Lord has given each person for the sake of each person and of the entire system. Five, two, and one are the numbers that represent the distribution of the gifts to each person, according to his/her abilities. To each according to his ability refers to the measure of each individual's receptive capacity which the Lord of life always fills in an overabundant way. The Lord of life cannot give more wealth than what a person can load or carry, nor can He fill it to overflowing. The talents represent one's abilities, attitudes, capabilities, potential, possibilities, stature, resources, genius, disposition, inclination. Believing that when the Lord of life distibuted His possessions to each of His children, He made a mistake or was unjust is perversely stupid. It is like considering unjust and mistaken the potentialities of a turtle compared to those of a jaguar, or the ones of a dragonfly compared to those of a drop of water, or those of a galaxy compared to those of an atom in a cell. Each person is made rich and filled to the brim with wealth that is appropriate to him/her, and it is these very divine gifts that determine in an absolute way the genuine authenticity, the original charm, the majestic nobility, the exclusive originality, and the uniqueness of that human being. Earning more talents means exploiting life's gifts to serve life, enriching life in the multiplication and sharing of true well-being and wealth, respectful of the earth's ecosytem and of each person's quality and dignity. Earning more talents is making our gifts bear fruit for our own well-being and for that of everyone else. The final gains, potentiated by the multiplication of our gifts, do not take into account whether we started with five or two talents: in any case the profit is a full, total, overflowing measure. Good and faithful servant is the man or woman who lives and understands life and the gifts given them by the Lord of all things as a service for the well-being of all of humanity. The wicked, lazy servant is the person who has lived his life thinking ill of the Lord of life and misunderstanding His works and will; He says in fact: Master, I knew you were a demanding person, harvesting where you did not plant and gathering where you did not scatter, thus declaring that he considers God a paranoic, hard, adverse, terribly unjust entity. The wicked, lazy servant gives back to the Lord of life the gift of life and the gifts for life as if he were returning them to a hostile, insatiable, capricious and lunatic divinity. Made dumb by fear, useless by laziness, vain by lack of confidence in himself, which is the highest form of arrogant pride, the wicked, lazy servant gave the Lord back the only talent he had been given. Doubting the potentiality of our gifts, closing ourselves off in false shyness, hiding ourselves in depression and sadness is arrogantly conceited, it is thinking ill of God and of his generous abundancy and always perfect kindness and love towards us. The offshoot of thinking ill of God is perceiving ourselves as being treated with injustice, as loosers, unlucky, inferior, as if the Lord of Life has always been against us. The wicked, lazy servant shows pure, violent pride which cannot generate anything else but fear, fear, fear and always fear, which then becomes annoyance, rage, rebellion, defiance and furious anger. That is why, in the great divine plan, to everyone who has, more will be given and he will grow rich; but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away, because if you are not serving humanity with all your gifts, you are useful to no one, you are living in misery and multiplying misery and you are useless. If you are useless, you are useless.
