Before
Yom Kippur, the rabbi brought the two disputants together and explained to them
the importance of conciliation at this season. He apparently convinced them for
they exchanged words of forgiveness and, of course, pledged friendship and
amity and carried on a very intimate, harmonious conversation.
As
they were about to leave, the rabbi requested that they shake hands and wish
each other the customary blessings of the season. So, they did. One turned to
the other and said, "May you have all the wishes you wish me for the New
Year."
Whereupon,
the other immediately responded, "See, there you go all over again."
When a person seeks conflict they will find it.
