The Fisherman's Parable

Times Read: 187


Once upon a time, a rich businessman and his entourage visited a harbor examining some ocean-front property to buy and develop. Their business concluded, he was about to return to his helicopter and take off when he noticed a plainly-dressed middle-aged man sitting on a chair near the docks, smiling and looking out over the ocean.

The businessman approached the other and asked him what he did for a living that allowed him to simply sit back and relax even though it was only early afternoon. He replied that he was a fisherman, and that he had already caught enough fish for the day, so he was just relaxing and taking in the view. The businessman pointed out that he could go back out and catch even more fish and make more money. The fisherman asked what that would gain him. The businessman pointed out that he could save up enough money to buy an additional boat & crew and catch even more fish and make even more money. The fisherman again asked what that would gain him. The confused businessman replied that he could build an even larger fleet and hire captains & managers to run it. Once again the fisherman asked what that would gain him.

The businessman told him that then he would be able to sit back, relax, and enjoy the ocean. The fisherman smiled and replied, “But that’s what I’m doing now.”

Good point. Oh. Btw a beachfront property isn't all its cracked up to be. Firstly you can seldom get parked at your door and you don't breathe in the fresh air from the sea, but rather the sox from vehicle fumes. I know as I had one, and won't ever again.
