the widow's gift is praised. The wealthy's is not condemned.

So, in order to fit your moral code, MofH, I must assume (as it is the obvious point of your last post) that...

*only those who give all their money are generous
*only the generous are not greedy (no middle ground)
*the greedy are wealthy
*the greedy cause the envy of the envious, and they are, thereby absolved.

Of course this all seems absurd. But (I think) that it is you who left no gray area -- not me who merely pointed it out.
