"Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after"

[David Spurlock]

Maybe that's point? In the context of the song, the older, wiser man knows better than try to teach what he's learned in life; he just explains that he did the exact same thing when he was young.

His "translation", what the other younger man understands, can't be "translated" perfectly. Hence the song title.

the answer lies within: "...afraid to do the things that I knew I have to do"

Thinkers observe energy thinking they've seen beyond mere routine. Discounting the very membrane which led them to such an understanding. Fish or not to fish. Tell me about that which lies beneath which one cannot see sir... I'll show you a man with spear and fish, life and reproach from.. A man of earth....

[Wendy Du]

Once upon a time, there was a mountain, a temple in the mountain and an old and a young monk in the temple, one day the old monk told the young monk, once upon a time, there was a mountain, a temple in the mountain and an old and a young monk in the temple...this is the Chinese version, as for how deep the story is...I think it works better as a bed time story, you'll never figure out what it means, so just go to sleep

[Joyce Ford]

I know an old man who tells me the same things.
