Like a golden carp released into green ripples
The poem
譬若金鱗放碧漪暗遭羅網四邊圍思量無計翻身出命到泉關苦獨悲
In English
Like a golden carp released into green ripples,you find the net secretly closed in on all sides.Thinking, you see no way to turn and escape,and at the spring gate, life seems lonely and bitter.
What it says
A golden carp released into green water finds nets closing in on every side. The poem describes feeling cornered and alone. It is a heavy lot, but a reminder to read your surroundings carefully before acting, and to reach out for help when stuck.
A thought to take with you
If you feel hemmed in, do not carry it alone; talk to someone you trust.
