I totally agree P. Life is full of ebbs and flows. Sometimes your down, sometimes your up. I consider myself an upstream fish because I cannot/do not allow myself to dwell in the murkiness tooo long anymore. I do not delude myself into thinking I'm perfect and wonderful and all that jazz. I'm only where I'm at because I've been down there in the deep plenty of times in my life. And without that experience, you do not gain insight/knowledge to change what you must change. No one is born knowing infinite knowledge. Even a Dalai Lama must be trained to be what he is. It's the ones that give up the fight of getting back on their feet and are content in the safety net of misery, and unwilling to evolve..IMO are the down swimmers. Some can't find their way back out of the darkness...

I also consider you an upstream fish Seavixen.
Because you're nice, caring and intelligent.
🙂
Here's a prime example of what I mean.
She has no clue what an upper or downer is ... because she is basing it on nice, care and intelligence.
When it's about reality .. to be up or down is dependent upon whether you are here, or over there at any particular moment.
And no DP's were harmed in this example .. just saying ....

P-Angel, with all do respect, I don't subcrobe to this new age belief that you have bought into that a person can "swim upstream and downstream simultaneously."
Once you accept this as "truth" then you can easily accept that there is no such thing as right or wrong.
Upstream and down stream are absolutes. Good and evil are absolutes.
One either swims upstream or down stream or goes with the flow. One is either good or bad and this is not theory on my part. This is knowledge based from my own personal life experiences.
Experience teaches wisdom, as they say.
I'm not sorry, P-Angel but I'm not drinking your new age kool aid.

What if I told you that I'm an upstream swimmer and never delve into the dark murky waters?
How many people do you think would agree with that assessment?
We might have a easier time believing it if your actions were congruent with your words.
I don't have a problem with you P; in fact, I kinda admire your lack of verbal restraint.
I just question your motivations for saying certain things sometimes.
But if you say you're an upstream fish, then I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and take your words at face value.

OK, point taken.
But I am still kinda confused about upstream/downstream fish. It seems very subjective, highly-personalized and incredibly arbitrary. Do you feel-as a Pisces- that you have the right to label another Pisces either "upstream" or "downstream"?
And following from that question- does a non-PIsces have that same right? To label you as a salmon or a carp?
Could someone please provide us non-fish folk with a simple, concise definition of what an "upstream fish" is exactly, and why?

I completely see what you're saying p-angel..as a cap/aqua, we have a fishy tail as well to probe the depths. My only critique is the Pisces lack of self awareness (I think you already pointed this out) and despite their all encompassing vision, their inability to convert this knowledge into useful wisdom for the rest of the signs.

.... what is an up/down stream Pisces.
You have yourself believing you are up, while the responsers to your thread are thinking down, and you think they are down ...... mixed up, jumbled up .. yeah, only a Pisces can actually decipher non-sense.
The thing is .... Pisces swims in both directions simultaneously
Any lights flashing yet? And this reality check goes for all you fine Fishes out there .. especially the ones who think they swim exclusively upstream. Yeah, that makes you officially fucked up just for that lie you tell yourself.
You can pat me on the back later
There is no such thing as an upper or downer without the other ....
