Two little goldfish,
Who lived in a bowl,
They thought that their home
Was the universe whole.

“Do you believe in God?”,
One fish asked the other,
For neither was taught
By father or mother.

Then answered the son,
Or was it the daughter?
“Of course there’s a God,
He changes our water.”

Perspective, is about how two little goldfish perceive the world. Which is, as far as they are concerned, a little round bowl. Our perception of our world must look just as puny to God.

I once heard a preacher say that if you put a goldfish, that has been confined to a small bowl all of its life, in a large pond that it will swim around in a small circle for several hours. As a fish farmer I know that that isn’t so but it was a good illustration of how we can let our perspective limit our abilities.
