The fish only knows that it lives in the water, after it is already on the river bank. Without our awareness of another world out there, it would never occur to us to change.

Summary

This quote suggests that we often remain comfortable and complacent until we are faced with a new perspective or experience. Similar to a fish living in water, we may not recognize or appreciate the possibilities beyond our own familiar surroundings until we encounter them. Only when we become aware of a different world or way of living can we consider making changes in our lives. It highlights the importance of being open-minded and seeking new opportunities for personal growth and development.
