Reading Notes : Jataka in Detail, Part C

The Three Fishes

- Thoughtful, very-thoughtful, thoughtless were the three fishes who lived in the river near town. Very-thoughtful sensed danger amongst them all but the other two fish kept staying back and did not want to leave yet. One day thoughtful and thoughtless got caught by a fishing net and very-thoughtful saved them both. Since very-thoughtful saved them, thoughtful and thoughtless decided to leave and to go back to the wild country and all lived safely ever after.

 This story was meaningful as the three fishes stood up for each other and did not leave each other in the dirt. As they are brothers, once they got caught up in the net, all of them vowed for each other and none of them left either one of them behind which was super powerful to read. Even though the king wanted one of them to take over the palace and the other two brothers had all the chance to leave him behind to get ahead in line of taking over the throne, the eldest brother did the right thing and saved both of his brothers and they all ruled the palace together.

In this jataka, the three fishes stood up for each other and did not leave any one of them behind. All thee of them were rescued even though the first two brothers were caught in a trap. The eldest brother knew the solution to the question and chose to save both brothers rather than one so that they could all live happily ever after.

Week 3 Story: Derek or Finn

Image
          In tonight’s episode of Grey’s Anatomy, Meredith has to choose between Derek and Finn. Two really good candidates for two completely different reasons. She is having a hard time doing so because both men are so great and have different things to offer. The way she met both of them are super unorthodox but a great way to ideally meet your future soulmate(s). Meredith Grey met Derek one night at a bar and ended up kicking him out of her house the morning after due to having a little too much to drink the night before.            They found out that Meredith serves as an intern under Derek who is a neurosurgeon at Grey’s hospital which is named after Meredith’s widely known and famous mother who is now sick with Alzheimer’s. Meredith and Derek hit it off right from the start and are the couple that I have been rooting for like how Sita and Rama are meant to be. Although Finn may not be an exact replica or a doppelganger of Ravana, they do share some qualities on
