A visitor to the Kotel saw an old man praying fervently. When he finished, the visitor said “I couldn’t help but notice how fervently you pray. If you don’t mind my asking, what are you praying for?” The old man replied: “Every morning for the last 20 years I come here, tell G-d my troubles, and pray for peace in the world. In the afternoon, I come back and pray for a world free of poverty and sickness.” “That’s very impressive,” the visitor replied. “How do you feel coming here for so many years and praying for these things?” With a sad look on his face, the old man responded: “Like I’m talking to the wall.”
