These Fish Are Happy
By Zhuangzi [Chuang Tze]


One day Zhuangzi and Huizi are strolling on Bridge Hao.

Zhuangzi : "Look how happy the fish are just swimming around in the river."

Huizi : "How do you know they are happy? You are not a fish."

Zhuangzi: "And you are not me. How do you know I don't know the fish are happy?"

Huizi: "Of course I'm not you, and I don't know what you think;But I do know that you're not a fish,and so you couldn't possibly know the fish are happy."

Zhuangzi: "Look, when you asked me how I knew the fish were happy, you already knew that I knew the fish were happy.I knew it from my feelings standing on this bridge."

What is all this? How is this related to Pick up? I dont understand the jokes, do they have a hidden meaning or something?

They're riddles with a deeper meaning, each one of them has an amazing amount of wisdom in them if you work through it.
