It amazes me that one of the most popular aquarium fish is the shark. A young man who
dives for exotic fish explained that if you catch a small shark and confine it, it will
stay a size proportionate to the aquarium. If you keep them in a small aquarium, sharks
can be six inches long yet fully mature. But if you turn them loose in the ocean, they
grow to their normal length of eight feet.
As unbelievable as it sounds, that became more believable to me as I reflected on people.
I’ve seen people become little because they lived with little ideas and midget moral convictions.
I know people who have become little because they associated with people who had their
same rigid notions and never entertained a liberal thought. I’ve seen people who were
so narrow they were flat.
Think about it … like sharks, people adjust themselves to the size of their environment.
This is my word of challenge. I’m Maxie
