Those who use their talents wisely will acquire even more talents, which should also be used to do God's work in the world. The nobleman's order at the end of the passage applies to those who don't use their God-given talents and won't receive eternal life. Spiritually-speaking, they are dead.The parable is about how to be a loan shark and gouge the Gentiles with high interest rates.

If the wolf ended up eating all the little pigs, became rich, wealthy and successful, and my preschool teacher said, "Let you live your life by this story," then I would think that. But that is not what happened. The bad guy got burned. He didn't eat the pig.

Is this a race to the bottom? I'll compare the "jesus" fable to the three little pigs all day long....since you saw fit......and thanks for that.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
When on my pc there arose such a clatter,
I opened my laptop to see what was the matter. I saw the alert, and I clicked it to check, and there was the post, from a guy named Lek.

I'd expect the supposedly divinely-inspired word of god itself to be easier to understand than a fucking fairy tale. Oh wait - it IS a fairy tale, quite possibly the silliest of them all.
