Wednesday, April 05, 2006 3:55 PM A pious man explained to his followers: "It is evil to take lives and noble to save them. Each day I pledge to save a hundred lives. I drop my net in the lake and scoop out a hundred fishes. I place the fishes on the bank, where they flop and twirl. 'Don't be scared,' I tell those fishes. 'I am saving you from drowning.' Soon enough, the fishes grow calm and lie still. Yet, sad to say, I am always too late. The fishes expire. And because it is evil to waste anything,I take those dead fishes to market and I sell them for a good price. With the money I receive, I buy more nets so I can save more fishes."
this is an abstarct from amy tan's book- saving fish from drowning anyway i think its rather cool don't you think its like sometimes we think we know whats right and we think we know waht's best but do we actually know waht is right? or maybe we're doing the wrong and thinking that its the right.
think about it food for thought. <3> |
