Thanks for checking! That says a lot about where your heart is. It's been a long time since we served together in the same local church, ablogaday. Stay healthy. It's a long road ahead!

"鱼儿是活着的, 只不过它换了个生活的地方"
If "鱼儿" is a metaphor for people (比喻 "人"), then what you wrote is very true.
In the Bible, Genesis 2:7, 耶和華神用地上的塵土造成人形，把生氣 (the breath of life) 吹進他的鼻孔裡，那人就成了有生命的活人，名叫亞當。 Our physical body is only a frame (人形) that contains this life, which some people refer to as soul "灵魂." Every man has this breath of life or soul, whether christians or non-Christians.
"上帝将它收了回去 ... 它应该升入天堂。"
For a Christian or someone who knows Jesus personally, yes, 他/她的灵魂会到父神那里. 有神的地方，就是天堂了。 But for someone who doesn't know Jesus personally, 他/她的灵魂不能到父神那里. Man has sinned, so sin causes a rift separating man and God, who is Holy (i.e. without sin). But God is also Love. He loves man and provides a "saving grace" for man through Jesus Christ and only Jesus Christ.

Is this a literal writing or a metaphor reflecting your worries of someones' spiritual life?

jet-lag?
嗚~~~~ it's dead; so sad. {sniff and sob.}
如果死掉的，是一尾普通的鱼儿，他的死只会给留下的同胞带来悲伤与孤寂。
如果死掉的，是一尾信耶稣的鱼儿，那他的死不过是代表著新生命的开始。死亡对他来说只是由人世进入到永生的那扇门。他要回到天父的怀抱那里，永远和天父在一起。
如果仍活著的，是一尾普通的鱼儿，他同胞的死只会再一次显示生命的无奈。生命的无奈便是你跟本无法从它带走甚麽。仍活著的他，应该在馀下的日子好好思想生命的意义和答案是甚麽。
如果仍活著的，是一尾信耶稣的鱼儿，那我想问问他：鱼儿啊，你能感受到主耶稣赐你永生的把握和出人意外的平安吗？你懂得为上帝给自己仍有生命气息而感恩吗？你会明白生命原来并不是必然的吗？
桐城的鱼儿啊，你会是那一尾？
ablogaday, 多谢您拔刀相助， 有空请多来坐坐与留言. 感激， 感激。
鱼儿是活着的，只不过它换了个生活的地方。 上帝将它收了回去，是因为它完成了赎罪的任务。它应该升入天堂。

赎罪" or atonement
Anonymous, this is a very important concept. However, 人並不能救自己 or 替自己贖罪 。 “贖罪”是耶穌替代所有人的罪而死 -- 釘死在十字架上.
