One of the Just Men came to Sodom, determined to save its
inhabitants from sin and punishment. Night and day he walked the streets and
markets protesting against greed and theft, falsehood and indifference. In the
beginning, people listened and smiled ironically. Then they stopped listening;
he no longer even amused them. The killers went on killing, the wise kept silent,
as if there were no Just Man in their midst.
One day a child, moved by compassion for the unfortunate teacher, approached him
with these words:
"Poor stranger, you shout, you scream, don't you see that
it is hopeless?"
"Yes, I see," answered the Just Man.
"Then why do you go on?"
"I'll tell you why. In the beginning, I thought I could change man. Today,
I know I can not. If I still shout today, if I still scream, it is to prevent
man from ultimately changing me."
-- Elie Wiesel

The wicked curve in upon themselves.
They gather and hoard. They acquire treasure,
but it turns out to be moldy stuff, and in the long run,
useless.
The righteous expand outward.
They don't grasp things, but hand them around,
lightly touching them with appreciation
and passing them on.
-- Eugene Peterson (on Psalm 37:21)
