The 3 wise men stood in front of the pool laden with a heavy rock in their hands. The instructions written in long time past was simple. To know the meaning of life, one must drop the rock they have chosen into the Pool of Life and all will be revealed.
The 3 wise men decided that they would do so together - hoping that the revelation will not be lost for at least one of them would be touched by Truth itself and thus be able to relate the experience to the other if need be. They also feared that the pool would only reveal itself once and preferred their chances not to be stolen by their act of civility.
As they let the rocks slip from their hands, it fell into the pool in a giant thud; ripples began to form and waves after waves began to collide against each other and overwhelming the curvatures of the pool until all that remained was a single ripple that seemed to consume inwards into itself.
The 3 wise men stood waiting. Waiting for a mystical apparition to appear - a revelation that would take their breath away but none came. In the silence, they stood bewildered and disheartened. Have it all be in vain?
