One day a preacher came to the city to convert its inhabitants to his faith. At first people listened to his sermons, but then they began to disperse little by little until everyone left. And although no one listened to him anymore, he continued to read his sermons.
A traveler passing by asked:
- Why do you stubbornly continue to read sermons?
“At first I hoped to change these people,” he replied. “And if I continue to scream, I do it only so that they cannot change me.”
