The Personality of Water, Creation and Humanity

Water is the only element in the theatre of the creation that when it dies it leaves no corpse behind. Yet in actuality, one cannot say water is dead; either it is there or it is not there. Both potent and weak, it destroys the heaviest rocks in a massive waterfall and yet stays serene in a vast ocean. It has neither form nor color, yet it takes the form and the color of its container. It is indifferent to being in high altitude or low, and yet it adjusts itself in being fluid, frozen, steam or even becoming divided into distinct molecules of hydrogen and oxygen.

Water can live in the filthiest areas where many creatures would not want to live, and yet it is the purifier of all the filthiest and dirtiest things. Water can penetrate into places where nothing else can penetrate. Water makes sounds but in its true nature is soundless. Water can save life, yet it can take away life. Water washes everything but itself. All living organisms require water, but water doesn't need itself to stay alive.

Water can travel on earth in the form of rivers and go against gravity in the form of water vapor, become clouds and redistribute itself on the surface of earth as it takes orders from its environment. If a soft flowing water confronts a hindrance, in an unselfish manner it will smoothly go around the obstacle, without damaging anything in order to make it to its destination. Water is not rigid. Water is the largest quantity of all other elements in the entire earthly existence.

Where no water flows, a swamp is created. Water washes human external and internal surfaces. If a human body does not receive enough water externally and internally, a swamp-like life will invade our cells and organs. This means disease.

Water's personality is the closest to the personality of a perfect human being, and one may even go further to say that water's personality is close to God's personality, in the limited way that we might attribute a personality to God. It is a life-giver and a life-taker. It is existent and non-existent. It is visible and yet can become invisible. It participates in every living thing, yet its presence is inapparent. It is soft and it is hard. It is passionate and it is forceful. It has form and it is formless. In difficult pass-throughs, water adjusts its shape, yet other elements and creatures are incapable of this. It is fluid and it is solid. It has no fixity in its nature. It follows the laws of nature, yet it has its own intrinsic laws. It is unnoticeable, yet it is the foundation of life. Water indiscriminately feeds all genders and all creatures, but it has no gender itself.

Water helps everything and everyone, yet expects no help. It is satisfied by itself. Water needs no hunting, no food, no happy time; it is observant and continues life. It conserves itself in many different places, whether in the high sky, on top of a mountain, or 60 meters underground. It is patient. It never gets bored, even if it waits for thousands of years.

This selfless entity, WATER, is being more and more ignored and insulted as we progress towards what we call an "ideal society" of comfort and luxury. A man who just recently bought a car with his petty cash along with his petty wisdom uses hundreds of liters of water to wash a piece of metal on a regular basis, where his worldly share of water to drink and wash himself is ten times less than what he wastes in a world of water shortages and droughts. Agriculture and food would be an environmental impossibility without the intervention of water.

Those who pick up a bottle of soft drink, whether Coca Cola or Pepsi Cola, as a substitute
for a glass of crystal clear water, which is compatible with life and an old friend of human beings, are making a serious mistake, because Coca Cola and Pepsi Cola do not bathe the cells of our liver, skin, brain and kidneys and wash them in a natural way, as water does. Soft drinks' only marginal benefit is in times of diarrhea. Soft drinks only stand to harm, as they have also become the tools of profiteering capitalism, which only nourishes the impermanent and transient desires and pleasures of mankind, and not particularly his wisdom. Water was the primary choice of Mother Nature to be the "primordial soft drink."
It has been proven over and over that these idiotic soft drinks cause obesity, diabetes, allergy, and a psychic addiction apart from their cultural destructive aspects. But the lazy masses keep ignoring this, and only obey their temporary impulses and unconscious habits.

Water is known to attack the hardest of everything including healing the hardest diseases, whether this is in the form of taking a hot bath in your own home or going to a hot spring to treat sore muscles, arthritis or even skin diseases, or simply by drinking a couple of liters of water per day to increase the irrigation of all tissues as well as to excrete toxins and metabolic end products primarily through our kidneys in the form of urine. If this irrigation and excretion decreases due to reduced water intake, then the resulting swamp-like environment inside our body is the condition where diseases manifest.

The politics and the wisdom of water in the entire picture of creation dominates life from A to Z. Those who unwisely ignore and insult water by taking overly long showers, washing cars, filling a huge swimming pool with drinking water regularly, washing a few plates and glasses in a dishwasher using many liters of water unnecessarily, or substituting water with other sugar-rich, artificial drinks are doomed to pay a high price in deterioration of health and life in their own personal as well as global existence.
