Pls dun fish... not literally...
Sighs... I noe, 2nd entry within 1hr... Suddenly felt like posting this...
Ever been fishing before? I've tried it a couple of times when I was in Perth. Although I never had any great catches, each time I was filled with excitement. But thats not the point here.
Anyway, if you were the fish, wouldn't it hurt? Upon seeing the bait, you think your hopes have materialised. After being hungry for so long, finally something. A promise to fill ur belly.
Naively, you go for that promise. However, you realised reality isn't as simple as you imagined. Hey, its not the fisherman's problem. You went for the bait, you gotta suffer whatever consequences that came with it right?
Hoping it isn't too late, you pull away, but you can't seem to. For some reason you're hooked. You know, you see it, but somehow you're so helpless you cant pull away. Or maybe you don't want to..
The fisherman is oblivious to whats going on in your mind. He keeps tugging the line, reeling it in. Occasionally sensing the struggle, he gives in, & lets the line loose. But his motive doesn't change... He is just playing with you, pulling you in again.
You're hurt, confused, worried. Disappointed that the world you thought you knew isn't all that wonderful. Who would do such a thing? Why would they toy with you? In the midst of all that confusion, you managed to break free.
How? Maybe the line snapped. Maybe the fisherman gave up. You just don't know. Yet, this experience doesnt seem to have taught you anything. Maybe you're just stubborn. Maybe you're just naive. Or you're just sticking to your own principles & beliefs.
You lived in a way only a fish knew how, & you're sticking by it. For years to come, you'll continue to keep that hope alive. You'll continue that struggle with the fisherman. Whatever the end is like, you know you've tried.???
