Some of our readers are observing Tisha B’Av, the 9th day of Av, the day that marks the destruction of the First and Second Temples. On this day, Jews fast and read from the book of Lamentations:

4:2 The precious children of Zion
Once valued as gold
Alas they are accounted as earthen pots
Work of a potter’s hands!

How many times have you seen something that took years to build destroyed in a day (in relationships, in business)?
