What else can I do?


Christ came from a white plain to a purple city, and as He passed through the first street, He heard voices overhead, and saw a young man lying drunk upon a windowsill. "Why do you waste your soul in drunkenness?"; he answered: "Lord, I was a leper  and You healed me, what else can I do?".  A little further through the town,  he saw a young man following a harlot, and said: "Why do you dissolve your soul in debauchery?" ; the man answered: "Lord, I was blind, and you healed me; what else can I do?". At last in the middle of the city, He saw an old man crouching, weeping upon the ground, and when He asked why he wept, the old man answered: "Lord, I was was dead, and You raised me into life, what  else can I do but weep?"
