Questions Beyond Existence": Little Fighter's Freedom

One day a child had a beautiful betta fish living in a small glass bowl, surrounded by clear water and familiar walls. One day, he thought the fish would be happier if it were free, so he carried it to the ocean and gently let it go. For a moment, the fish was surrounded by endless blue. There were no glass walls, no boundaries, no limits. But it had never learned how to live in the open sea—where to hide, where to find food, or how to survive the powerful currents and creatures of the deep. The child watched from the shore, crying for missing but believing he had given his fish freedom. He didn't know that sometimes, the world we dream of escaping into can be a world we were never taught how to survive.
