is this the one where the guy goes off and leaves his servants with some "talents" (the old hebrew word for gold pieces) and i forget what he asks them, but one guy only buries it and then when the master (employer) returns he is angry with the bury guy and gives his gold to the one who made many more by using the property wisely?

i think Duncan Cory Palmer also wrote a piece about this recently, or maybe it was LibertyGal but the point they came through with was that what we have been given, we are obliged to cultivate and make it greater, not just maintain it.

the literal words in the texts really distract you from the point of the story
