WATER which is too pure, has no FISH

What the heck does that mean? When I say it, it is an attempt to convey "Everything in moderation, including moderation." Or said another way, "Don't try for perfection, you won't get there, and in addition, it is not ideal. Too much perfection and purity stifles life."

Sea water is teeming with life. Microscopic organisms are eaten by tiny animals, who are in turn eaten by larger animals and so on up the chain until Mr. Great White Shark has his lunch. The little left over pieces fall to the ocean floor and become food for bacteria, microscopic life etc. The whole thing works quite nicely in nature. We don't like nature very much. We sterilize everything, Wet wipes are everywhere. We take antibiotics for the common cold. We shield ourselves from the sun, the air, and the rain. We drive in air conditioned cars with the windows rolled up. And now the final straw... we no longer touch or talk to one another we send text-messages and emails, and look at one another on our smart phones and laptops. We are perfectly isolated, and that's the problem.
