"Why does the Jew mourn of the ninth of Av? Consider this: On the tenth of Tebeth the land was lost and the capital was threatened; but the Jew does not mourn for his lost land. On the seventeenth of Tammuz the capital was lost; but the Jew does not mourn for his lost city. On the ninth of Av the Temple went up in flames; and for that, for the last sanctuary of the Torah, for the lost home off the majesty of God, for that the Jew mourns." - Samson Raphael Hirsch Tears come when something is lost. But we always are mindful of that which matters most of all.
