Okay I was supposed to sleep but I really can't fall asleep so here I am. Auntie Perry super funny! Come online then complain to me that I'm lazy! LOL okay la I am! But here is another post!
HAPPY NEW YEAR GUYS!
XD I'm very happy there are still people who read my blog!
So sorry but I can't see much now(my contacts are off) so I won't reply any tags till next time! I can't see them clearly anyway...I'm like squinting now. LOL
Alright so people always say, "There are plenty of fishes in the sea."
Well it's pretty true in a way. Dating is a lot like fishing right?
My parents and lil bro came back recently from a fishing trip and caught many many fishes! Looking at them makes me think of many things.
In a sense, you need to have enough technique and know enough about the fish you are catching before you can actually catch any.
Sometimes you would have hooked one, but you never know if it is a direct swallow of the hook or if you have only caught the fish by the fin.
For the inexperienced ones, once they feel a slight tug, they immediately pull hard and reel in for all they're worth and either the fish gets away or the line breaks. Don't worry too much, we're all learning.
Of course, whether the fish actually has the hook in the mouth is another thing of course. In this case, if the fish escapes, it was meant to get away.
Any smart fisherman will know that the skill to catching fish is not to reel them in as fast as possible, but in playing a game of catch(pun unintended) with the fish. You let the fish swim away before you tug it in, then you let the fish swim away before you tug it in again. Everytime you tug it in again, the hook sinks a little deeper into the fish and after a few repeats, the fish is yours.
And to all the fish out there, sometimes the fisherman may find you too small, or think that you are inedible. They will reel up the fish, only to realise that they don't really want it after all. The nicer ones will remove the hook entirely from the fish's mouth before throwing it back.
But there will always be the ones who don't really care and simply cut the line and throw the fish back, leaving the fish with the hook still painfully embedded in the body.
To all the fishermen out there, do remember that fish have feelings too, and being unkind certainly isn't the way to collect good karma. So remove the hook as painlessly as possible so as to prevent unnecessary pain. However, the fish will bu hurt. It is inevitable, of course.
But note that we can't all be fishermen. We are the fish too.
What comes around goes around.
