About this Quote

This quote by Graham Taylor is a humorous method of explaining the special experience of living in a goldfish bowl. It suggests that, while most of us can only picture what it resembles to reside in such a restricted area, the goldfish themselves are the only ones who really understand the experience. Taylor is suggesting that the goldfish have a special viewpoint on life that the rest people can never ever truly comprehend. He is also highlighting the importance of empathy and understanding, as we should make every effort to put ourselves in the shoes of others, even if we can never ever completely understand their experience. Eventually, this quote functions as a suggestion to be conscious of the perspectives of others, and to aim to be more understanding and caring.
