The Problem With Envy

Yesterday I was reading The Parable of the Workers in the Vinyard in Matthew 20 and was struck by something found in verses 13-15 that I never thought much about…...

"What we hunger for perhaps more than anything else is to be known in our full humanness, and yet that is often just what we also fear more than anything else. It is important to tell at least from time to time the secret of who we truly and fully are . . . because otherwise we run the risk of losing track of who we truly and fully are and little by little come to accept instead the highly edited version which we put forth in hope that the world will find it more acceptable than the real thing. It is important to tell our secrets too because it makes it easier . . . for other people to tell us a secret or two of their own . . . "— Frederick Buechner
