The
irresistible fascination of aquariums, is an unsolved mystery. Many
people love their beauty, their harmony, others try to understand
the delicate balances or study the laws of nature, others become
children again, leaving their fantasy free to swim through
multicolor abysses..
Yet,
the aquarium isn't only this:
Children,
often wiser then us, are able to perceive the tie between human
beings and animals in a way that the adults, sometimes, cannot
understand. For them, a goldfish has a name, a history, for them
he's the friend they talk with, he's their buddy. For them love and
respect are ancestral, spontaneous principles.
I
believe that to be good aquariophiles, it's very important to
understand one thing:
In
nature, every stone, every plant, every creature has a good and
justified reason to exist. The life cycle of every living creature
follows precise rules that always guarantee them their existence. To
break this circle, means to overbalance an infinite number of
factors, that will inevitably cause many alterations, to end up to
the last chain of the link: the human being. That's why everything
man does against nature, is always destined to affect himself.
And,
if this concept seems very distant from the simple decision to buy
an aquarium, the purchased tank will have no hope to work well.
Because it doesn't matter which personal reasons bring us close to
the aquariophilia; the only important thing is to understand that in
rejoining the wonders of nature, it is indispensable to respect all
its rules, whether these are they simple or difficult, pleasant or
disagreeable. Only in this way, it will be possible to create our
own, little, enchanted kingdom.
