The short life of a fish

Last night I dreamt that I had morphed into a fish. I swam around a rectangular tank, my sleek propeller body cutting through the water. Point A to B and Point C to D and Point A to B. What is life, if not this endless repetition of hours, days and years? I asked myself rhetorical questions to which there was no answer, and spent my time pondering over the nature of God and the wisdom of his or her existence. I deigned to accept my fate, I rebelled against the laws of nature, I tossed about frantically between these two extremes. I worshipped Darwin, I claimed the Hand of God. And while I was doing all of this, a big hand entered the water and pulled me up, gasping, rasping. I woke up on the kitchen tale, just before the knife sliced me in two.

But you fail to see the total peace of a fish's life. No thought, no worries. No 'my fish-girlfriend is going out with that male-shiny-orange fish'. How many fish do you know who've committed suicide?

aran, you never know... the complexities of life as a fish, driven more by instincts than intelligence... at least here u are provided with some norms to go about it... there its a free for all.... btw there are hundred of fishes who commit suicide every year and we know of must be billions more....
