The Biology of Resilience
InfoMountain.ca
Let me be brutally honest:
I will absolutely inhale a plate of grilled salmon like itās my final mealā¦
but hand me a fishing rod and suddenly Iām a gentle forest spirit who refuses to harm a single living creature.
Iām not scared.
Iām not squeamish.
I just have a very specific moral code that makes sense only to me ā and Iām committed to it with the intensity of a monk guarding a temple.
I look at a fish and think,
āYouāre just out here minding your business. I wonāt be the villain in your underwater memoir.ā
Iāll eat youā¦
but I wonāt personally end your storyline.
Thatās my line in the sand.
I love seafood, but Iām not doing the gritty part.
Thatās not weakness ā thatās smart resource management.
Iām basically the project manager of āI Want Fish, But Someone Else Handle the Drama.ā
Some people pretend theyāre tough.
Not me.
Iāll openly say,
āI canāt kill a fish, it feels wrong,ā
and then order sushi like Iām celebrating a promotion.
Thatās transparency with a side of wasabi.
Fishing trip?
Yes.
Sunshine, snacks, calm water, good company?
Absolutely.
Actually ending a fishās life?
No thank you, Iām busy being a gentle soul with boundaries.
I get the whole circleāofālife thing.
I respect it.
I just donāt want to personally reenact it.
Iām here for the scenery, not the survival documentary.
Iāll tear up if I have to kill a fishā¦
but Iāll also demolish fish tacos like Iām competing on a cooking show.
Thatās balance.
Thatās nuance.
Thatās character development.
I donāt want to be haunted by a fish spirit.
I donāt want to ruin Nemoās day.
I donāt want that kind of karmic smoke.
Iām protecting my soul like itās a limitedāedition collectible.
Iām a fishāloving, fishāeating, fishārespecting human who refuses to personally commit aquatic violence ā and honestly, I think thatās a pretty elite personality trait.
