Give A Man A Fish, He'll Eat For A Day. Teach A Man To Fish And He'll Sit In A Boat And Drink Beer All Day.
Quite a bit of truth to that, don't you think?

Yes and no.

If it s a good fish, he will come back 4-squares-a-day.....and yet, at the same time, fishing? A great sport, and is the same if not better a form of Meditation than say golfing, for example......

But cannot find any fault at all with fishing.
None whatsoever.

Fishing is to some the same way as yoga is to some: Fishing is a great peaceful relaxing endeavor.
Highly enjoyable. And does not involve beer.

Ummm generally people use that saying when talking about helping the poorer people in other countries. Forgive me for mentioning this but surely if they are poor, they are not going to have beer to drink all day and may actually want/need food?

 Actually a lot of people are poor because they spend all their money on their addictions.

No not really, The man you quote said if you follow me I will make you fishers of men. They wouldn't have done that if they were all sitting around in a boat drinking beer all day. Eh?
