A renowned oceanologist once famously said (maybe not that famously, but do we really need to get down to the nitty grittys ?), "I fucking don't care for the ocean any more, you know. Its just full of fish and water !"
What does this line have to do with anything you ask !? Well, nothing really. Just thought of opening a post with a famous quote. And it helps us slide right into the topic which i want to discuss today. Fish and water. Whats with these fish. I mean, seriously. Whats with their unhealthy addiction to water ? Cant live without water, eh ? Are you telling me that after so many billions and billions of years of evolution, you can't get over a simple hurdle ?
Depending on anything for your very survival, is very very dangerous. Just imagine if we humans say tomorrow, "I need caviarre to survive. Give me caviarre or i ll die right here in front of you. Shaking my hands and legs and gasping for breath as i yearn for those delicious little things". Seems stupid, doesn't it ? And yet we bear the same kind of stupid addiction of these fish creatures. Remove them once from the aquarium just for a moment, and they start throwing tantrums. Drama queens i tell you !
And so i have decided, enough is enough. Somebody's got to stop the yapping and do the dirty work. We have to teach these fish to survive without water. We cannot just sit by the sidelines and watch these wonderful creatures destroy themselves with their own gills. We will do whatever it takes. We will go to every school there is. We will teach the fish the importance of being in control of their own lives.
We ll start with baby fish steps, sorry strokes ! Get an aquarium with some fish in it. Just take one of them out for a brief instant. Let them get a taste of how wonderful and freeing it can be ! At first, they will not like the idea. They will show their resistance by dieing. But worry not. After a few hundred generations of fish dieing the same way, evolution will take its effect. I am guessing that it will. It will, won't it ?! It will. Lets remain hopeful. Life's nothing without hope, right !?
Let me know how it works out for you, and your fish too ! Remember, together we can, and we will make a difference !

Did you start doing this? In case any of them died, my cats would love to honor the dead :P
