Isn't it Absurd - The clumsy servants

A certain master asked his servants to go out during the night and take something from storage.

He said to them:

"Get candles and matches that I have provided so that you can see, since it is dark"

The servants started discussing among one another how bright the master was and how full of light his house was. The also philosophized about the light, of what it was, of how much it was, of how it was to be measured. Through all of this, though, they did not light their candles.

Since they could not see, they stumbled in the dark on the road to the storage room. On arriving there, again, since the room was dark, they made a big mess, taking things from a shelf and moving it to another. They also broke many things.

Some others took as many matchboxes as possible and lit them all together, trying to make them explode. Still others melted the candles in a small-duration, but big fire, and made sculptures - some of them, attempts at a portrait of their master.

A few of them lit their candles normally, and wondered at what the others were doing. However, the others tried to blow their candles out. They also closed their eyes and said to them: "Do you think you are better? Now you also can not see!", and they tried to steal their materials for their 'fun' activities.

The master, hearing all that noise, saw all of that, without the servants' being aware. Then, on the servants return, he asked them:

"What have you done here? What is this mess? What have you done with the candles and matches I gave you and why have you shuffled and broken the things that I had in storage?"

The servants tried to blame the ones that had their candles lit normally (some of them, having stolen their candles already), but the master knew that they were lying, having seen it all himself.

Of course, he fired all the bad servants at once, but wasn't the bad servants' behavior absurd?

"Indeed, isn't it absurd?", the Master asked.
