“A man who cultivates his garden, as Voltaire wished.
Someone who is pleased that music exists on earth.
Someone who delightfully discovers an etymology.
Two employees silently playing chess in a café in the South.
A potter who premeditates a color and a shape.
A typesetter who composes this page well, which perhaps he doesn’t like.
A woman and a man reading the final triplets of a certain song.
Someone stroking a sleeping animal.
Someone who justifies or wants to justify the wrong done to them.
Someone who is pleased that Stevenson exists on earth.
Someone who prefers that others be right.
These people, who ignore each other, are saving the world.”
From the short story “The Just”
by Jorge Luis Borges
