One day, a father and his son were
sitting and chatting on the riverbank. The father said to his son, “Look at my
son, the water is so important in this life, without water we all will die.”
At the same time, a small fish is
listening the conversation from the bottom surface of water. Small fish was
suddenly nervous and wanted to know whether the water, which he said is so important
in this life. That small fish swim upstream while asking every fish he met,
“Hey do you know where water is? I’ve heard human’s conversation that without
water, life will die.”
It turns out that all of fish that
have been asked not know where the water was. The small fish was getting
confused, and then he swam to the spring to meet with old fish that have been
experienced, the grand old fish. The small fish asked the same question, “Where
is water?”.
The elder replied wisely, “Do not be
anxious, boy! The water is surrounding you, so that you do not realize it. It
is true, without water, we all will die.”
So, what is the meaning of the story
for us?
Humans sometimes experience the same
situation as small fish, looking to and from about life and happiness, while he
was living it, even happiness are surrounded to the extent that he himself was
not aware of it.
