The Clock

Back in the 1930's in tel Aviv's Mughrabi Square there used to be a big clock with no glass covering the face.  Legend has it that one day Mayor Meir Dizengoff ordered that the clock be removed.  When residents of the area asked him why, Dizengoff explained that it was because every Jew who walked by the clock reset it according to his own watch.

Sometimes reality and our vision of what life should be do not jibe.  At that point, do we can change ourselves?  Or do we adjust the way we interpret that reality.
Which is better?  Which are we?

Of course, now in the 21 st century we must ask: are we better or worse for it?
