The story comforts me. "Abraham said, 'Son, remember that you, in your lifetime, received your good things, and Lazarus, in like manner, bad things. But now here he is comforted"

It's comfort that it opens my eyes to fact that my lack of good things here on earth does not compare to comfort of eternal bliss

again it's an eye opener that should open our hands reach out to the masses with whatever little we have. The richman would have avoided damnation had he shared with Lazarus
