The Catfish Farm

This is a must-read! Let’s take a catfish for instance. When a catfish is born, it has two parents, and it is born into the environment just like all the others. It does what all the rest are doing and survives by swimming and eating the same foods the others eat. Its view is the same as all others in that environment. To the catfish, eating the food, swimming in schools—that’s all there is in life. Till one day, a net drops into the water, and totally unaware of the danger, it swims right into it—thinking that it’s just a part of their infinite environment. Then the net lifts, and this catfish now realizes there’s far more going on in life than just the environment that it was brought up in—a new atmosphere because now it can’t breathe. During the transition from the river to the water tank, now it realizes there’s something bigger going on than the life and environment it has always known. From the water tank to its new home with the other farm-raised catfish. Although they don’t yet know what their fate is in this new environment, they now know that everything they’ve ever learned wasn’t enough to keep them out of that net. This, my friends, is where the real journey begins!
