One day a dull and exhausted by the illnesses and burdens of life
peasant came to the wise man. He sat in front of the wise man, who gave
him a heartfelt and warm smile. The peasant breathed out heavily letting
out a wave of mourning. He began complaining about his life, that he
has a hard burden that he doesn’t see a bright daylight at all, it’s
like one problem falls on his head or the other – they have twisted him
between the grindstones so much that he can’t even breathe in some fresh
air. Later, he began blaming all of his relatives, who, in his opinion,
were guilty for his misfortunes, whether the circumstances didn’t turn
out right for him, or something else.
The wise man listened to him in silence, and when the peasant once
again contritely inquired the wise man, why is it so unfair, what should
he do and how to find peace, the wise man got up from his seat and
invited the peasant to follow him.
They came out of the hut and went to a lakeside, which was not far
away and where from time to time flying fishes were jumping, trotting
fast above the surface, catching food.
The wise man led the peasant to the lakeside and said to him:
“Do you see the smoothness of the lake? The depths are full with
life. There are fishes that always stay in water, and if suddenly the
lake got polluted, they couldn’t see further their own nose, they would
hardly recognise where the source of the pollution was, and they would
keep swimming in circles. And there are also fishes that got wings and
they can rise above the water of the lake, looking at it from the
heights of their flight. So this is my advice: instead of complaining
about your life, come to this lakeside from time to time, watch the
flying fishes and try to understand what I wanted to say to you.”
