The fish in the bowl

Posted by Somatization on June 29, 2004, at 21:37:59

There is a goldfish in a fish bowl.
He swims back and forth all day and all night.
All the people conduct their daily business around him without notice.
The people feed him and assume he is happy. After all, he has everything he needs to survive.
So he just swims back and forth.
He wants to leave the bowl, but knows he can't.
Every second of every minute of every day he sits in the bowl.
One day he flips himself out of the bowl, he is free but he can't breathe.
At his second to last heartbeat, a person sees him.
The person puts him back in the bowl, sees him swim, then walks away.
The person assumes he is okay...after all...he is back in the bowl and has everything he needs.
