The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard

I recently read Matt 20:1-16 The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard

It is quite interesting. There can be many thoughts if one allow his imagination to run wild.

One of the question i explore: Is God unfair?

Well..maybe not.
God just have the right to do whatever he wants with his money. God's gifts are god's and are distributed not through the merit of the receiver..but on the full graciousness of God.

Likewise, through the entering of the kingdom of God as referred in v1, it seems to imply that the criteria to enter is the grace of God...and never on our merit and ability

Is this the correct reading of this verse?
