He said, "I pity."


He said, 'I pity that old woman, ' but ran away when she asked for help.
He said, 'I pity that poor man, ' but walked away when he asked for help.
He said, 'I pity that young blind guy, ' but did not help him cross the road.
He said, 'I pity that lame child, ' and so his journey continued.
If pitying means doing nothing, 
then helping means doing everything.
