Lavish

One of the elders said to the brethren at Kellia: If only people would care as much for good things as they care about that which is bad. If only they would transfer to a yearning for piety all the attention they lavish on spectacles, magnificent festivals, on avarice, vainglory and injustice. We are not ignorant of how highly God values us, nor are we powerless against the demon. -John Moschus, the Spiritual Meadow
