The Frog Explores.. Researches..
There is a Japanese saying that goes: 井の中の蛙大海を知らず
It means: “A frog in a well knows nothing of the sea”
It’s supposed to describe people with a narrow world view due to limited experience.
But sometimes, I think, that it’s unfair and mean to the frog? Was is it’s fault that it was born in the well & it did not enough water (or frog leg power) for it to rise above the dead leaves & yesterday’s rain shower to even have an opportunity to see the sea?
And when it does see …the sea, we expect it to return to the well, to make seafoam and shells — from it’s little froglet bones and the well’s chipping stones. While we parade it in front of tadpoles, it’s heart full of holes.
Maybe it’s just me, but do we really need the sea?
Or should we just take to the skies?
