Quick:

What animal walks on four legs in the morning, two legs in the afternoon, and on three legs at night?

Of course, the answer is “humans” - we crawl when we’re babies, walk for most of our lives, and then use a cane in the older part of life.

And yes, the question is metaphorical. Especially in the context of how we look at time. A single-life cycle of morning-afternoon and evening is in the concept of a cycle of a whole life. Though we don’t look at the time that way, at least most often.

Something to think about… it was stimulating to look at life through a different lens of time. What other different concepts of time do you apply to look at life?
