Opinion VS Informed Position  

 “Perhaps the madness of the mackerels is a result of the fact that they all believe they are the only fish in the sea,” pontificated Primpton the Killer Whale. “It only stands to reason that the kingdom of the ocean and those within it are but a small part of one realm in a much greater cosmos.”

“Couldn’t be,” said Sean Shark. “I didn’t see it on Neptune News.”

“Furthermore,” parlayed Primpton, “The currents that run through here derive from something beyond our simple line of sight and path of logic. The liquid we circulate is invigorated with blue-green life-trons designed to increase the subtlety of our thought processes. When we release our limited sense of self, the magnitude of possibility comes flooding in.”

“That’s not so,” said Sean Shark. “My parents, both holding 3 degrees from Tuna Tech University, never mentioned it.”

Undaunted as usual, Primpton explained further, “If we can ever hope to release the burden of the past, we must be able to process it in a way which sustains invigorated forms of resource distribution. My friend the Great Blue Whale Marty used to say, ‘Welcome those who bring conflict because they will reveal themselves. Let the power of truth dissolve their faulty synapse connections.’ He was my mother’s cousin on her father’s side.”

Sean was starting to swim around in angry circles, “If I didn’t read it in my Hammerhead High School textbook, then it can’t possibly be a valid position. Anyway, all the other sharks agree with me. They think you are the one who is slightly off kilter Primpton.”

Just then the elder reef shark Jimmy Whitmore Alexander swam gallantly up to the conversation. “Are you spreading rumors of a world where we all take responsibility for our own happiness again, Primpton? Just last week one of my worker sharks told me that they were no longer going to fulfill their duties and that they had you to thank for it. That shark has now run off with a lady Tiger Shark named Teri and headed to the Sacred Lagoon to live a life of lazy enjoyment under the rainbow sky. How dare you continue to spread this madness!”

Primpton finished with an ache in his compassionate heart, “My friends, it is not I who has chosen to put the moon in the sky.”

He swam slowly away as the sharks went back to their proper place.

Have faith in yourself and each other.
