If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. But if you give him a fishing rod, you feed him for a lifetime

I was spaced out this morning, and I started coming up with proverbs. It went like this:

Fishing rods are cheaper than fish. You can’t give people fishing rods, when there is no lake. It’s like selling fishing rods to people who live in the desert. They should have water. If the people who live in the desert have a lake, they can go fishing. At which point, it is okay to give them fishing rods, instead of fish that they will finish eating in a day. Greedy fish-eating bastards who live in the desert.

Yeah. So. There.
