At the root of the dissatisfaction in this Sunday's gospel is envy. Even though they are not treated unfairly, the first workers of the day complain because they are envious of the generosity of the Lord. And if the love of God were finite or limited, they would have a point. But, God's love is infinite, and we cannot be more fulfilled if we are saved. God's love is without limit, and so everyone can be loved in fullness by God.
