That Wisdom Thing: The Pilot Episode

Pitching a sit-com idea: Every week we open with this wise looking guy with a beard - like a rabbi or orthodox priest or an imam - and he's doing something like cutting the lawn, or taking out the trash - ya know - and, like, a neighbor or a family member asks him a question about life, about the world,...about God............... Episode 1 So the wise guy is sitting in a VW dealership, writing a short story on a pad of legal paper, when a guy comes up to him and says: Do you think, padre, that we human beings are now or can be semi-divine? The wise guy thinks: He didn't even start off with the easy ones, like did I think it would rain later, or whether it was hot/cold enough for me. So he says, how do you measure divinity? Where are the scales to weigh it? Where is the yardstick to measure it? If we can change, may not the instruments of measurement change, too? Anyway, to ask if man may be divine, all or in part, is like trying to determine whether a glass of water is half empty or half full in the midst of an earthquake during a torrential downpour.
