Swimming

I was swimming in a pool, the sun was shining, the water was nice and fresh and cool, the sound of my movements were soft and constant, my heart was beating slower, relaxed, my breathing was deep and calm, I had water all over me, enough space to swim back and forth and round and round,....

and you know what came by?
a big fish, saying- well, at first I thought, it was me, thinking it, but in fact it was a big fat fish, saying:
oh, you poor creature...
you can't swim, you cannot even get into this water, you must sweat, and work hard and there is no cool breeze for you, no refreshment, no relaxation for you.... something is wrong with you that you cannot get into this water, that you cannot feel it, .... you must do more exercises, maybe one day, you can swim..... all the others can swim, but you can't.....this pool is only for some special ones, but not for you,..... everybody will laugh at you because you look so funny, so wrong in this pool,... once you were able to enjoy this cool wet refreshment, but now it is over, it is no longer for you...... you missed it..... you can't, you won't, you.....

STOP!
R U KIDDING ME?
I said.
I am actually swimming, can't you see?
I am actually enjoying this cool fresh water, the sunshine on my face, my breathing, my relaxation, I am actually in it, and not even a fish of your size can get me out.... and as I said it, my words pricked the fish, all the air burst out in a loud hiss, and the rubber fish shrunk to the very size of a little mouse. I took it, threw it out of my great awesome pool, and laughed.....
