Breathing
Human: Fishes have no concept of water. They don't
know that they are in water till they have no water.
Fish: I come with water.
Human: You don't. I can separate you from water.
Fish: Air to you is needed space. Water to me is needed
space. Air is everywhere. Water is everywhere. You
come with air.
I breathe without realizing that I am breathing. I keep
focusing on the mind, I forgot about the heart and the
lungs. They function regardless of how silly my mind is.
They don't complain or chatter like my mind. They just
keep on pushing and pushing for this body and to live
on. I don't know how many times my mind has given
up life or how many times my mouth has spoken
hurtful words or how many times my hands have let go
or my legs have stopped moving forward. Yet, my heart
and my lungs have not once stopped and given up on
me. I may have taken the air for granted but I shall not
take my heart and my lungs for a useless joy ride.
