人不是魚，怎會了解魚的憂愁。

魚不是鳥，怎會了解鳥的快樂。

鳥不是人，怎會了解人的荒唐。

人不是鳥，怎會了解鳥的自由。

鳥不是魚，怎會了解魚的深沉。

魚不是人，怎會了解人的幼稚。

你不是我，怎會......了解我。

The person is not a fish, how can (it) understand fish's sadness. 

The fish is not a bird, how can (it) understand bird's joy. 

The bird is not a person, how can (it) understand person's absurdity. 

The person is not a bird, how can (it) understand bird's freedom. 

The bird is not a fish, how can (it) understand fish's deepness. 

The fish is not a person, how can (it) understand person's weakness. 

You are not I, how meeting.....  (you) understand me.

Do you find it interesting that sometimes we are heading backwards as we advance in technology. That we make things faster and smoother but at the same time we lose (tactile) feedback. Take sending an sms for example. Just the other day someone made a comment that texting was so much easier on an oldschool phone rather than these new touchscreen keyboards. You could secretly send a text to a friend with your phone still in your pocket (while the person talking to you is boring you to death) because you could feel for the buttons with your eyes closed.

Simple, clean, and efficient, only preserving the things we think we need. Did we choose the right things to keep?
