Nobel Peace Prize

My very favorite parable of all is found in Matt.20:1-16. This is the parable of the Laborers in the vineyard. In this parable Jesus says in vs.14 and 15 "Take what is yours and go your way. I wish to give to this last man.....Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with my own things? Or is your eye evil because I am good?"
In the days since President Barack Obama got the Nobel Peace Prize our country's opinionators, from conservative talk show hosts to moderate columnists to the thousand of published bloggers have voiced their opinions on the "wrongness" of his selection.
I've been too hurt to post. Emotionally, I feel drained by the constant talk of it. And while I strongly feel that people do indeed have the right to their opinions and to speaking them publicly, I also notice that the negatives always seem to outweigh every other possible option.
While the 5 selectors of the Nobel Peace Prize are not God, by any stretch of the imagination, who knows for certain that their selection wasn't influenced by good and not evil? Why does a positive spin seem wrong? Why do so many people feel "incensed" by the committee's selection?
For my unsung hero/ine today, I nominate this 5 member committee that decides the Nobel Peace Prize. They certainly are "unsung". They are harangued and ridiculed.
Yet they may be far reaching optimists, God-guided, and fair minded people who follow a star we can't yet see. I would rather believe that than belabor a decision that is none of my business.
Like the owner of the vineyard, this committee decides who gets the prize. I feel that is, basically, the end of the story.
