Default The Trout

When a trout rising to a fly gets hooked on a line and finds itself
unable to swim about freely, he begins with a fight
which results in struggles and splashes and sometimes an escape.
Often, of course, the situation is too tough for him.

In the same way the human being struggles with his environment and with the hooks
that catch him. Sometimes he masters his
diffifulities; sometimes they are too much for him. His struggles
are all that the world sees and it naturally misunderstands them.

It is hard for a free fish to understand what is happening
to a hooked one.
