The Egyptians through their mythology, made us understand a lot of the situation between Israel/Palestine and the Kabalistic concept of "TIKKUN OLAM"-repair the world-
It is said, that the body of the god Osiris, represented in the sun, is dismembered every evening by his brother Set. Then Isis, his loving wife, has to work all night from sunset to sunrise, gathering all the pieces of Osiris scattered around and putting them back together again, so that the sun can rise.

The hard-working-class for peace do exactly the same.. Every bad action against each other that brakes trust, that produces more and more hatred, that destroys hopes is like Set dismembering Osiris. Then we come into the picture, against all odds, putting the pieces back together again, again and again... So that the sun can bring some light in a region filled with shadows...

If we are going to be caught up in a sysiphian task..let it be the one of lvoingly putting back the pieces.
