Same

Lovely and ugly are not dissimilar,
  yet one draws and the other repulses.
Trustworthy and fear-inspiring are not dissimilar,
  yet one prospers and the other is punished.
Saint and sinner are not dissimilar,
  for both are rejected by the norm
  when they are seen on the street.
As for me, I will choose the crescent moon
  though all desire the full.
