Three Fish - Day 5
Once upon a time, there was a stream. In that stream, there were three fish. The first fish was named "Futuristic"
Futuristic always planned for the future. It always thought of what would happen to the stream in three months, in six months, in twelve months, in twenty-four months, in five years, and so on. It had a scientific approach.
The second fish was named “Spontaneous" It had lots of ideas to get out of difficult situations. For example, it knew all the exit routes from the stream, the various ways to dive deep into the water, and it knew the different ways to jump out of danger etc. Spontaneous was also very active and had friends among fellow-fish.
The third fish was called "Just Another". Just Another never planned for the future, nor did it know the tricks to get out of difficult situations.
One fine day, Futuristic swam to sea level and checked the mean temperature of the sun. It seemed to Futuristic that it was too hot. Given this kind of temperature, and considering the depth of the stream, the stream would dry up within a month. Saying this aloud to Spontaneous and Just Another, Futuristic said it was leaving the stream and going out to a bigger pond, lake, river or sea. It hoped Spontaneous and Just Another would join, but that did not happen.
Soon, the stream began to dry up. A fisherman came by and caught both Spontaneous and Just Another in his net. Being an athletic fish, Spontaneous jumped out of the net before it lost its life and back into the water and swam out into sea. However, Just Another died in the fisherman's net. Just Another was the kind of fish who would perish without a fight when all the others perish. It simply left things to destiny.
Therefore, it is for us to decide whether we wish to be like Futuristic, Spontaneous or Just Another. Whichever route we choose to take in our lives, be rest assured that our faith belief stays with us.
