No one can feel as helpless as the owner of a sick goldfish.

Summary

This quote illustrates the feeling of helplessness that an owner experiences when their pet goldfish falls ill. It acknowledges that despite their best efforts, there is very little one can do to alleviate the suffering of a fish, highlighting the powerlessness one feels in such a situation. Unlike other pets that may be more resilient or that can actively communicate their needs, a goldfish's limited capabilities and lack of connection with the owner can intensify the sense of helplessness, making it a uniquely disheartening experience for the owner.
