adherence to                                ZERO                                        Excellent oppurtunity to

an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strewed:

25:25 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.

25:26 His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that

I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strewed: 25:27 Thou oughtest therefore to

have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine

own with usury. 25:28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.

This would be like boarding up the buildings and waiting for a good plan to come along.

Tearing down the building(s) to rebuild a building that is a fraction of

what we already have is beneath the man who buried his 1 talent.

It is like throwing it away and then asking for a new smaller one.
