The Man Nobody Knows

There are 2 seas in palestine.One is fresh and the fish are in it.splashes of green adorn its banks.
Trees spread their branches ove it an stretch out their thirsty roots to sip of its healing waters.

...The River Jordan makes this sea with sparkling water from the hills.So it laughs in the sunshine.And men build their houses near to it,and birds builds their nests;and every kind of life is happier because it is there.
The River Jordan flows on south into another sea.
Here is no splash of fish,no fluttering of leaf,no song of birds, no children's laughter.Travellers choose another route, unless on urgent business.The air hangs heavy above its water, and neither man nor beast nor fowl will drink.

What makes this mighty difference in these neighbour sea?Not the River Jordan. It empties the same good water into both. Not the soil in which they lie; not in the country round about.
This is the difference.The sea of Galilee recieves but does not keep the Jordan.For every drop that flows into it another drop flows out.The giving and receiving go on in equal measure.
The other sea is shrewder,hoarding its come jealously.It will not be tempted into any generous impluse.Every drop it gets,it keeps
The sea of Galilee gives and lives.The other sea gives nothing,It is named the Dead.
There are 2 kinds of people in this world.There are two seas in Palestine.
