Actually I can’t help but remember so much about some of my favorite fish I raised for a long time now. Everything continues to happen like it was just yesterday. But looking back, I realize how much time flew. It’s no more a matter of months or weeks, it’s already years.
Relating to true life existence, no matter what, the position, the age, the life, the stage, we are in life, it was never meant to be permanent in any way. Getting to realize this early enough is nothing but a great feeling that will surely put one at a place of peace and comfort.
Why do people retire? Only if it were to be permanent then everyone would have held on to their post till eternity. But when you do not retire at your own will and time, then nature will surely come to let you go. Leaving the earth surface has been a permanent way to retire us. Enough was enough.
Those fish were over two years old. So big, and I really loved them. Seeing them alone was just something pleasing. I knew they won’t be here with me forever and that the years they spent were just a grace on their end. Many fish couldn’t survive that long. But they did. It was a painful exit but a fair goodbye 👋.
