Three Sages, a Wristwatch, and the Sun: A Parable.

Three Sages are taking an evening walk in the nearby woods. “Such a lovely Evening!”, says the First Sage. “I wonder when it will end?”, says the Second Sage.

The Third Sage looks at his Wristwatch. “Sunset is supposed to happen at 7:30pm, today. That gives us about twenty minutes more.”

The First Sage looks to the Second Sage. “Ha!” he exclaims. “This Fool thinks his Wristwatch controls the Sun!”. He rubs his belly, excitedly.

“Oh no,” says the Second Sage. “I’m afraid it’s even worse than that! Our Foolish Brother thinks that the Sun somehow controls that Wristwatch he wears!” He strokes his long grey beard, pointedly.

The Third Sage merely smiles. “You are both wrong.” He sits down upon the nearest rock he can find. “Wait and see.” He sits, and waits.

The Sun sets. The Wristwatch shows 7:30pm.
