Personally, I think this is really great abstract art. Guess who the artist is? Someone really famous, right? Nope. Me Personally, I think I should be a millionaire, but I am not. Not even close. So, in the photo below is abstract art that is worth at least a million dollars. One of his paintings sold for $30 million. I ask you. Do you see any difference between the painting above and the one below? Me either. Now don't get me wrong. Kandinsky is great and I love his stuff. He has the advantage of being dead. That instantly ups the value of his work. But other than the fact that I can still create art and he, being dead and all, can not...can someone please tell me why I am not shoveling caviar in my mouth on the Riviera with a silver spoon???? Life is not fair. It just isn't. Kandinsky was born into a rich family, and was given a "generous allowance" by dear old dad long after most people had cut the umbilical cord. He never suffered from lack of funds or prestige, no matter what stage of crazy art he was experimenting with. As far as I can tell from his biography, he never suffered, though his paintings did increase in value after he died. There are countless examples of the unfairness in life. The only consolation God gives is "it ain't over till the fat lady sings." That is not in the Bible, by the way, but the point is that we have to adopt an eternal perspective if we want to see that it all evens out in the end. The story will come to a satisfying conclusion, but we have to be willing to trust God despite the evidence during our sojourn here on earth. The wicked will prosper, evil will reign, bad things will happen to good people. But God who numbers every hair of our head sees all. In the end, all will be made right. The scales will balance. Those who mourn will be comforted. We will all stand before the Lord and give an accounting of our life to the One who cannot be bamboozled. The Rich Man and Lazarus 19 “There was a rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day. 20 And at his gate was laid a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, 21 who desired to be fed with what fell from the rich man's table. Moreover, even the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 The poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried, 23 and in Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side. 24 And he called out, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the end of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in anguish in this flame.’ 25 But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner bad things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in anguish. 26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, in order that those who would pass from here to you may not be able, and none may cross from there to us.’ 27 And he said, ‘Then I beg you, father, to send him to my father's house— 28 for I have five brothers—so that he may warn them, lest they also come into this place of torment.’ 29 But Abraham said, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them hear them.’ 30 And he said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’ 31 He said to him, ‘If they do not hear Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead.’”

Isus nas ovom prispodobom poziva na milosrđe prema svim ljudima i na prihvaćanje svih bez razlike u njihovim životnim stanjima ili stanjima na bankovnom računu. U ono vrijeme reče Isus farizejima: »Bijaše neki bogataš. Odijevao se u grimiz i tanani lan i danomice se sjajno gostio. A neki siromah, imenom Lazar, ležao je sav u čirevima pred njegovim vratima i priželjkivao nasititi se onim što je padalo s bogataševa stola. Čak su i psi dolazili i lizali mu čireve.« »Kad umrije siromah, odnesoše ga anđeli u krilo Abrahamovo Umrije i bogataš te bude pokopan. Tada, u teškim mukama u paklu, podiže svoje oči te izdaleka ugleda Abrahama i u krilu mu Lazara pa zavapi: 'Oče Abrahame, smiluj mi se i pošalji Lazara da umoči vršak svoga prsta u vodu i rashladi mi jezik jer se strašno mučim u ovom plamenu.' Reče nato Abraham: 'Sinko! Sjeti se da si za života primio dobra svoja, a tako i Lazar zla. Sada se on ovdje tješi, a ti se mučiš. K tome između nas i vas zjapi provalija golema te koji bi i htjeli prijeći odavde k vama, ne mogu, a ni odatle k nama prijelaza nema.' Nato će bogataš: 'Molim te onda, oče, pošalji Lazara u kuću oca moga. Imam petero braće pa neka im posvjedoči da i oni ne dođu u ovo mjesto muka.' Kaže mu Abraham: 'Imaju Mojsija i Proroke! Njih neka poslušaju!' A on će: 'O ne, oče Abrahame! Nego dođe li tko od mrtvih k njima, obratit će se.' Reče mu: 'Ako ne slušaju Mojsija i Proroka, neće povjerovati sve da i od mrtvih tko ustane.'« (Lk 16, 19-31) Pred nas su stavljena dva čovjeka: bogataš i siromah. Siromah se zvao Lazar i ležao je bolestan, sav u čirevima, pred bogataševim vratima. Možemo zaključiti kako je život tom siromahu bio jako težak. Bio je siromašan, a uz to je bio i bolestan. Još je sjedio pored bogataševe kuće i priželjkivao je nasititi se onim najmanjim – onim što je padalo sa stola, dakle s otpacima. No, bogataš to nije ni primijetio niti je što poduzeo oko siromaha. Siromah se mučio u svojim bolima i kao takav u boli je umro. Iako je drugi čovjek bio bogataš, to ga nije činilo u biti drugačijim od siromaha. Naime, i on je bio samo čovjek. Izvana se možda činilo kako su to dva različita stvorenja i kako im se treba obraćati različitim stavom, kako jedan zaslužuje, a drugi ne zaslužuje poštovanje. No, ispod svih tih razlika stoji ključna jednakost svih ljudi pred Bogom. Obojica su umrla. Siromah je u raju, a bogataš u mukama. Kao da se situacija okrenula. Ali situacija se nije tada okrenula u korist siromaha. I nisu njih dvojica stavljena kao oprečnost jedan drugome zbog svoga staleža ili imovinskoga stanja ili životnih muka. Možda uopće nisu stavljeni kao oprečnost. Siromah je bogatašu stavljen kao mogućnost, kao prilika. Bogataš je mogao svoje buduće stanje promijeniti brigom o siromahu. Mogao je i on biti u krilu Abrahamovu, ali morao je za to prvo priznati ovoga siromaha svojim bratom. Jer kako bi obojica mogli biti u krilu Abrahamovu, a da se ne smatraju braćom? Isus nas ovom prispodobom poziva na milosrđe prema svim ljudima i na prihvaćanje svih bez razlike u njihovim životnim stanjima ili stanjima na bankovnom računu. Isus traži da prepoznamo u drugima Božju djecu, svoju braću i da pomažemo jedni drugima na svojim putovima. I uočimo još jedno. Siromah se zove Lazar, a bogataš nema svoje ime. On je bezimen, bezličan, neprepoznatljiv. Nemojmo sebi nikad dopustiti da ostanemo neprepoznatljivi, nego neka nas drugi prepoznaju po našim djelima milosrđa i neka nas prepoznaju u imenu Isusa Krista.
