"Never forget that only dead fish swim with the stream"
- Malcolm Muggeridge
About this Quote
This quote by Malcolm Muggeridge is a reminder to stay real to oneself and not conform to the status quo. It is a call to action to believe individually and to not be swayed by the opinions of the majority. The quote is a metaphor, comparing those who conform to the stream of popular opinion to dead fish, who are not able to think on their own and are merely brought along by the present. It is a tip to be brave and to defend what one believes in, even if it is not popular. It is a call to be a private and to not hesitate to go versus the grain. It is a reminder to be bold and to not hesitate to take risks and to defend what one thinks in.
"One fifth of human kind depend on fish to live. Today now 70 percent of the fish stock are over-exploited. According to FAO if we don't change our system of fishing the main sea resources will be gone in 2050. We don't want to believe what we know"
