One of Christ’s parables might have some of us thinking that the outcome is unfair‚ but it holds valuable lessons about God’s generosity and our need to stick to the course to the end. At the beginning of this parable‚ you notice that people are standing around waiting to be hired. Some get jobs right away‚ while others wait all day long.

If we would be viewing Ana’s situation using Kantian ethics‚ there would be no more arguments to discuss with regards to what would be the morally right thing to do on her situation. Kantian ethics had set it as absolute —whatever consequence that lies ahead‚ it is Ana’s duty to give birth to her child despite of its expected deficiency.
