"Do you see this fish my... great and much times great grandson?
Yes, I do my ...?
"You can call me just a grandad
Why do you think it is a fish? Not a cat? Or maybe my dish?"
"Because I can see it is a fish"
"Have you ever seen this particular fish in the past?"
"No, I have never, they are completely new to me"
"But still, you were able to recognize it?
Even if you never saw it in the past"
"True"
"Do you see this"
"A fishing road?"
"Exactly it,
How do you know it is a fishing road?"
"I have seen things like this in the past"
"But you never saw this particular thing in the past? Didn't you?
"No"
"Exactly
Some may say
There is an idea of a fish
And fishing road
And snow
Virtue
And everything we see
Is a shadow of that ide
Or maybe, more correctly say
Shadows of those ideas
Therefore
When we go to the places, we have never been to
We can recognize new trees, new tables, fishes and so on
Do you agree with those thoughts of mine, my dear?"
"I think yes grandad,
It sounds very logical to me"
"I know,
But there are those who has criticized it
By saying:
If there is an idea of a fish
Does it mean
There is an idea of an idea of a fish
Then does it mean there is an idea of an idea of an idea of a fish?
Ad infinitum, am I right, or not?"
"I never thought about it"
"I know you didn't
Therefore, I have mentioned it
What do you think?
Are you able to relate to your own thoughts?
What do you think to the fact of the matter?"
"I don't care, I want to say
Nonetheless
I am wondering
If there is a fish
That I never saw in the past
Is it a fish then?
Maybe isn't a fish?
But something else?
And "fish" is a name
