Human Folly Is Endless

When my daughters were little girls, they got into a fight on the cement back porch. They were playing hopscotch, and both of them wanted to play with an imaginary friend they called Mr.  Nobody. I had to break up this ruckus.

In Israel there's a place called the Temple Mount that is sacred to several religious groups, each devoted to worshiping their own Mr. Nobody.  One part of the site is reserved for Muslims as a place for them to pray. Jews are not allowed there, but some Jews do enter and then kneel and pretend to tie their shoelaces while actually muttering prayers to a different Mr. Nobody. A day or two back, to avenge this insult, two Muslim men killed four rabbis. Then the two Muslims were killed.         

Tomorrow, another folly will take place. Check your local paper.
