Question:

Do you believe that saying "If you love something set it free..."?

"If it comes back to you it's yours, but if it doesn't it never was"?

I tried that with my goldfish, and the very next morning, he was back on the porch where I had let him go the night before.

Looks like your fish had a wall of opportunity surrounding him.
Yes, I do believe it is right to give freedom of choice. Sounds to me like you gave the goldfish the same choice we Americans receive (the one that was picked for us).
