The goldfish has no understanding of anything outside the bowl although it
can be affected by it. It can not understand and is not aware of the nature
of the bowl nor what is outside the bowl.
If a goldfish became aware of what is inside the bowl, the bowl itself and
finally that which is outside the bowl, it may be concerned about the
reality outside the bowl since what occurs outside the bowl can affect what
is inside the bowl. To the goldfish the bowl would represent a prison from
which is restricted from affecting things outside the bowl. The goldfish
would come to resent the bowl despite of the bowl providing its continued
existence. Breaking the bowl in a futile attempt to escape would only leave
the goldfish stranded in air.
If the goldfish becomes aware of a problem isolated inside the bowl it is
unable to affect change.
The aware goldfish is faced with a choice of accepting the bowl in order to
live and accept what surrounds the bowl whether or not those surroundings
are benevolent, malevolent or benign as they pertain in relation to both the
goldfish and the bowl or it chooses to escape the bowl which also results in
demise.
