Great fish do not swim in shallow waters…the strong can and do venture upstream…the piranhas of life are not evil unless we let them devour us.
Metaphorical fish live in an eternity of words of wisdom. The red-bellied piranha found on Saturday in Aberdeen Lake did not fare quite as well. That fish is dead and in Chad and Lindsay Ray’s freezer. Although, the Rays’ Facebook post has now been shared over 20,000 times. So, maybe it gets to live in infamy as well…except online and on top of a bag of keto cauliflower rice.
