Wisdom From an Elderly Jewish Man.....!!





A female CNN journalist heard about a very elderly Jewish man who had   been going to the Western Wall to pray, twice a day, every day, for a long,   long time.


     
  So she went to check it   out. She went to the Western Wall and there he was, walking slowly up to the   holy site.



     
  She watched him pray and   after about 45 minutes, when he turned to leave, using a cane and moving very   slowly, she approached him for an interview.



     
  "Pardon me, sir, I'm   Rebecca Smith from CNN. What's your name? 
  "Morris   Feinberg," he replied. 
  "Sir, how long have   you been coming to the Western Wall and praying?" 
  "For about 60   years." 
  "60 years! That's   amazing! What do you pray for?"
  "I pray for peace   between the Christians, Jews and the Muslims." 
  "I pray for all the   wars and all the hatred to stop." 
  "I pray for all our   children to grow up safely as responsible adults and to love their fellow   man."
  "I pray that   politicians tell us the truth and put the interests of the people ahead of   their own interests."
      
  The journalist then asked,   "How do you feel after doing this for 60 years?"


  
  "Like I'm talking to a bloody wall."
