While walking home, Caleb remembered an occasion when he was picking up some fish food at the local pet store and he bumped into a mom and her daughter. The daughter was so excited that mom gave her permission to purchase a Siamese Fighting Fish. Caleb pointed out that the species is beautiful, especially when there is a mirror on one side of the aquarium. The mother started humming the song "You're so vain" from Carly Simon. She couldn't believe she still remembered the song after so many years. Caleb smiled and stated that while the Siamese Fighting Fish will appear even more brilliant in color and shape than before, one thing that you can count on, it is not vain. It is ready for a fight.
He thought about the Siamese Fighting Fish and that it only had one tool when it sees another Siamese Fighting Fish... to fight. As we grow up and mature, we must have many more tools in our toolbox before we resolve to use force. The primary tool... Communication.
