Math here helps illustrate spiritual truth.

Here is how I figure this about an ungrateful servant.

he owes his King $10 BILLION debthe doesn't realize the extent of his debt and thinks it is in the realm of repayingthe first servant also has a servant that owes him $12,000 (not an insignificant amount)the first servant's debt to the King is 833,000X bigger than the debt the second servant owes to the first servantEven if the first servant forgives the second servant 7 times, (Which is what Peter's first question proposed) the first servant's debt to the King is 119,000X bigger

Unless this first servant gets the math right, and appreciates his massive, unpayable, disproportionate debt to his KING, he won't get the motivation for the right actions to his fellow human.  Without good ACCOUNTING (to God) spiritually, we are apt to err in our ATTITUDES and our ACTIONS (to others).  Listen with your calculator.
