Every living thing has its kind of environment or place that will enable it to perform its specific function, I will give an example of a crocodile if you put a crocodile outside water it will not be able to attack the same way it attacks when it’s in water, same applies to fish, when you take fish out of water you have weakened it and it won’t be able to survive, it wiggles on the ground and dies.
What happens if you put a rabbit in the same water it will just drown to death what causes one to die it's what causes one to survive, water can cause a rabbit to die but it can cause a fish to survive. What am I trying to say here? We function best when we locate ourselves where we are best suited。
