>>> A CNN journalist heard about a very old 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."
>>>  
>>>  
>>> And finally "I pray that everyone will be happy".
>>>  
>>>  
>>> "How do you feel after doing this for 60 years?"
>>>  
>>>  
>>> "Like I'm talking to a fucking wall"
