The Teacher Warns

The Teacher warned, “Woe to you, Moral Majority, you hypocrites. You are like marble-clad towers, which appear beautiful on the outside, but inside are full of greed, egoism, power and every kind of human blindness. Even so, on the outside you appear righteous, but inside you are filled with hypocrisy and evildoing. The Teacher shook his head: Woe to you, bankers, politicians, men of vanity, women of wealth, you hypocrites. You build the monuments to great people and adorn the memorials of the good, and yet you say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our forefathers, we would not have joined them in shedding the blood of the great, the good, the decent and the holy’. Thus you bear witness against yourselves that you are the children of those who murdered the wise and the compassionate, exemplary people, those walking with the Divine. In blindness and selfishness you shall continue, without wisdom, without compassion, the message of goodness cannot warm your frozen hearts.” adapted from Mt. 23:27-32
