There is an old story about a Rabbi who preached a life of non-violence and peace while his congregation ignored him and went on with their selfish ways. He was asked, “Rabbi, why do you bother? Nobody listens. You’re not changing anything.” And the Rabbi replied, “But you misunderstand. I don’t do it to change them. I do it to keep them from changing me.”
