Flyfishing in the UNIVERSE! !!!

Flyfishing is a skill requiring deft handskills and proficiency in the deceptive arts (in fact it's an absolute necessity), from luring prey with appropriate bait to lying sufficiently still. Flyfishing in the universe is much the same but the specimen located there require a different hook technique.

The rules remain the same however...


KNOW YOUR SPECIMEN

A deep understanding of the varieties involved, what they're tuned into, what attracts them etc, are absolutely crucial otherwise they just won't bite.


CHARM DECEPTION

To catch 'em without them even knowing they're caught,

now that's expert fishermanship,

Indeed...to have them blissfully swimming around not even knowing a net surrounds them,...an enclosure, a farm, a penitentiary

just like a universe, a body, a mind...that is mastery.

a perfectly designed prison where the inmates can run riot but not quite

a fascade of freedom, .....but bondage instead.


IGNORANCE IS BLISS

The problem with fish is... for one, ...well...they're just there, they exist,

they cannot be ignored by default ( like a non-existing phenomenon)

More than that however, fish actualy don't know they're being kept for ornamentation like with Koi, raised for harvesting like with trout, netted for the kill like with sardines, or simply baited for the sport of it.

So to it is with inhabitants of a universe, a planet, a country, a community

Ultimately fish cannot integrate themselves into human society because they're not human. Fish can't drive cars, work or socialise with humans because they're fish, their capabilities are limited to a particular environment. If you try to integrate them into human society they're going to be like, ...well fish out of water.

The best you can wish for is for them to be like ornaments in a Koi pond of life.

Fish and fisherman live in two different dimensions of life. Humility is not so much feigning subservience among fish, it is more to do with recognising a truth from many others, the fact that you are a fish

...and it's implications on the ego, acceptance of the knowledge that you're vulnerable and yet being secure in that knowledge

when that occurs your mind becomes like a sponge in a universe abundant with knowledge.
