🐟 Los peces y la naturaleza de la realidad
En esta parábola, dos peces jóvenes nadan y se encuentran con un pez mayor que les pregunta cómo está el agua. Los peces jóvenes no entienden qué es el agua, lo que sirve como metáfora para explicar que las realidades más obvias e importantes son las más difíciles de reconocer. La historia subraya que, aunque suena banal, las realidades cotidianas pueden tener un impacto crucial en nuestras vidas, especialmente en la vida adulta. Los graduados aún no entienden lo que significa el día a día en la vida adulta, llena de rutinas, frustraciones y aburrimiento, algo que nadie menciona en discursos de graduación.
🛒 La frustración cotidiana y el poder de elegir
El autor describe un día típico en la vida adulta, lleno de pequeñas frustraciones, como hacer compras después de un largo día de trabajo, lidiar con el tráfico y las multitudes en el supermercado. Explica cómo es fácil caer en el 'modo automático' donde creemos que el mundo gira en torno a nosotros y nuestras necesidades inmediatas. Sin embargo, si somos conscientes, podemos elegir pensar de manera diferente, considerando las posibles circunstancias difíciles de otras personas en lugar de ver todo desde nuestra perspectiva egocéntrica. Este es el verdadero valor de la educación: aprender a ser consciente y a elegir cómo percibimos la realidad cotidiana.

The daily grind of adult life can be filled with petty frustrations and annoyances.
An example of adult routine is the tedium of grocery shopping after a long day at work.
The default reaction to frustrating situations is often anger and self-centeredness.
The importance of making a conscious decision about how to think and what to pay attention to.
The natural default setting is to believe that the world revolves around our immediate needs and feelings.
The challenge of choosing not to think in a self-centered way during frustrating moments.
The possibility that others in frustrating situations may have their own struggles and challenges.
The idea that everyone in a checkout line shares a common experience of boredom and frustration.
The concept of choosing to see beyond one's own perspective to understand others' experiences.
The power of awareness in deciding what has meaning and what doesn't in our lives.
The freedom of real education lies in learning how to be well-adjusted and conscious of our thoughts.
The alternative to awareness is unconsciousness, leading to a life of default settings and dissatisfaction.
The importance of simple awareness in appreciating the real and essential aspects of life that are often hidden in plain sight.
The message is not about morality or religion but about the value of a real education and awareness of life before death.
The importance of reminding ourselves of the truth that is so real and essential, symbolized by 'this is water'.
Transcripts
there are these two young fish swimming
along and they happen to meet an older
fish swimming the other way who nods at
them and says morning boys how's the
water and the two young fish swim on for
a bit and then eventually one of them
looks over at the other and goes what
the hell is
[Music]
water the point of the fish story is
merely that the most obvious important
realities are often the ones that are
hardest to see and talk about stated as
an English sentence of course of course
this is just a benal
platitude but the fact is that in the
day-to-day trenches of adult existence
benal platitudes can have a life or
death importance the plain fact is that
you graduating seniors do not yet have
any clue what day in day out really
means there happen to be whole large
parts of adult American life that nobody
talks about in commencement
speeches one such part involves boredom
routine and Petty frustration the
parents and older folks here will know
all too well what I'm talking about by
way of example let's say it's an average
adult
day and you get up in the morning go to
your challenging White Collar college
graduate job and you work hard for 8 or
10 hours and at the end of the day
you're tired and somewhat stressed and
all you want is to go home and have a
good supper and maybe unwind for an hour
and then hit the sack early because of
course you have to get up the next day
and do it all again but then you
remember there's no food at home you
haven't had time to shop this week
because of your challenging job and so
now after work you have to get in your
car and drive to the supermarket it's
the end of a workday and the traffic is
have to be very bad so getting to the
store takes way longer than it should
and when you finally get there the
supermarket is very crowded because of
course it's the time of day when all the
other people with jobs also try to
squeeze in some grocery shopping but you
can't just get in and quickly out you
have to wander all over the huge overlit
stores confusing aisles to find the the
stuff you want and you have to maneuver
your junky cart through all these other
tired hurried people with cart etc etc
cutting stuff out cuz it's a long
ceremony and
eventually you get all your supper
supplies except now it turns out there
aren't enough checkout lanes open even
though it's the end of the day rush so
the checkout line is incredibly long
which is stupid and infuriating but you
can't take your frustration out on the
Frantic lady working the register who is
overworked at a job whose daily tedium
and meaninglessness surpasses the
imagination of any of us here at a
prestigious college but anyway you
finally get to the checkout Line's front
and you pay for your food and get told
to have a nice day in a voice that is
the absolute voice of
death and then you have to take your
creepy flimsy plastic bags of groceries
in your cart with the one crazy wheel
that pulls madly to the left all the way
out through the crowded bumpy littery
parking lot and then you have to drive
all the way home through slow heavy SUV
intensive Rush Hour traffic etc
etc everyone here has done this of
course but it hasn't yet been part of
you graduates actual life routine day
after week after month after year but it
will
be and many more dreary annoying
seemingly meaningless routines
besides but that is not the point the
point is that petty frustrating crap
like this is exactly where the work of
choosing is going to come in because the
traffic jams and crowded aisles and long
checkout lines give me time to think and
if I don't make a conscious decision
about how to think and what to pay
attention to I'm going to be pissed and
miserable every time I have to shop
because my natural default setting is
the certainty that situations like this
are really all about me about my
hungriness and my fatigue and my desire
to just get home and it's going to seem
for all the world like everybody else is
just in my way and who are all these
people in my way and look at how
repulsive most of them are and how
stupid and cowlike and deaded and
nonhuman they seem in the checkout line
or at how annoying and rude it is that
people are talking loudly on cell phones
in the middle of the line and look at
how deeply personally unfair this is if
I choose to think this way in the store
and on the freeway fine lots of us do
except thinking this way tends to be so
easy and automatic that it doesn't have
to be a choice it is my natural default
setting it's the automatic way that I
experience the boring frustrating
crowded parts of adult life when I'm
operating on the automatic unconscious
belief that I am the center of the world
and that my immediate needs and feelings
are what should determine the world's
priorities the thing is that of course
there are totally different ways to
think about these kinds of
situations in this traffic all these
vehicles stuck and idling in my way it's
not impossible that some of these people
in SUVs have been in horrible auto
accident in the past and now find
driving so terrifying that the therapist
has all but ordered them to get a huge
heavy SUV so they can feel safe enough
to
drive or I can choose to force myself to
consider the likelihood that everyone
else in the supermarket's checkout line
is just as bored and frustrated as I am
and that some of these people probably
have much harder more tedious or painful
lives than I
do again please don't think I'm giving
you moral advice or that I'm saying
you're supposed to think this way or
that anyone expects you to just
automatically do it because it's hard it
takes will and effort and if you were
like me some days you won't be able to
do it or you just flat out W want to but
most days if you're aware enough to give
yourself a choice you can choose to look
differently at this fat deaded over
madeup lady who just screamed at her kid
in the checkout line maybe she's not
usually like this maybe she's been up
three straight nights holding the hand
of her husband who's dying dying of bone
cancer or maybe this very lady is the
low-wage clerk at the Motor Vehicles
Department who just yesterday helped
your spouse resolve a horrific
infuriating red tape problem through
some small Act of bureaucratic
kindness of course none of this is
likely but it's also not
impossible it just depends what you want
to
consider if you're automatically sure
that you know what reality is and who
and what is really important if you want
to operate on your default setting then
you like me probably won't consider
possibilities that aren't annoying and
miserable but if you really learned how
to think how to pay attention then you
will know you have other options it will
actually be within your power to
experience a crowded hot slow consumer
hell type situation as not only
meaningful but sacred on fire with the
same force that Lit the Stars love
Fellowship the mystical Oneness of all
things deep
down not that that mystical stuff's
necessarily true the only thing that's
capital te true is that you get to
decide how you're going to try to see it
this I submit is the freedom of real
education of learning how to be well
adjusted you get to consciously decide
what has meaning and what
doesn't that is real Freedom that is
being educated and understanding how to
think the alternative is unconsciousness
the default setting the rat race the
constant gnawing sense of having had and
lost some infinite
thing I know that this stuff probably
doesn't sound fun and Breezy or grandly
inspirational the way a commencement
speech is supposed to sound what it is
as far as I can see is the capital T
truth with a whole lot of rhetorical
nicity Stripped Away you you are of
course free to think of it whatever you
wish but please don't just dismiss it as
some finger wagging Dr Laura sermon none
of this stuff is really about morality
or religion or Dogma or big fancy
questions of life after death the
capital T truth is about life before
death it is about the real value of a
real education which has almost nothing
to do with knowledge and everything to
do with simple awareness
awareness of what is so real and
essential so hidden in plain sight all
around us all the time that we have to
keep reminding ourselves over and over
this is water this is
