If it's a direct parallel, then we have these "weed" people sown by the enemy, and the "wheat" people sown by God. God foreknew long before He planted the "wheat" that the enemy would sow "weeds." So he chose before the foundation of the earth that only the wheat would be saved, and the weeds burned. From our perspective, however, we have no idea who's a wheat and who's a weed. So we can't fathom the possibility that what God is doing is not only fair, but it's the only reasonable way to handle the situation.
Like I said, I don't claim that it's a perfect parallel...
