Water Philoshopy

    It has been about three months since rainy season started. Rain have been falls everywhere and sometime falls hardly with increased wind. Some area also flooded by water, wether because of the hard rain or bad irrigation . I believe, rain is always a blessed gift from GOD. Even sometime it also delay some of my activities plan. So now, i like to talk about one of important element in life related to the rainy season, WATER.

    If i'm not mistaken, most of things in this world; including us, are water based. As we knew, most our planet surfaces was covered by water. Human's body, animal's body, and event plants are also consist most by water rather flesh and bone. That why issue of water is always included in every philosophy. Thales of Miletus said that the principle and the and of all things is water. In other words, water is the origin of all things, that from all things emerge and to which they return; moreover, all things ultimately are water. Thales concludes that water is the first material principle. Since it is only water that in ordinary experience human beings see being transformed in its three phases (solid, liquid and gas).

    Water is primary natural element which always needed and always follow the form of the container. It also flowing, from the higher place to the lower one. And it is doing so effortlessly. It is potential energy and gravity that move it. Water is simply harmonizing itself with the law of nature. And it doesn't so much effort to do so. Put an obstacle in it's path; water would not be difficult for it to make a turn and find another way. Put a big obstacle in front of it; it would not be hard for it to find the smallest crevices, and keep flowing without any burden. Dam it up with the huge, massive wall; and it would come to a halt. It just waiting, until all the building water becomes too heavy to contain; thus the law of nature collapses the wall, and flows the water to the lower place.

    Water becomes unstoppable, even when it flows without any effort. Because for water, universe is it's ally. Water has no color, the color to be seen of it is only a reflection of the container's color. And even the container's is white, water only reflect blue; the color of sky. Water also has no taste and no odor. The only taste of water captured by human's sense is only fresh. Other taste or other odor captured is just came from additional material by nature or human itself.

    Flexibility, persistence, patience, and surrender is the messages of water. And thus, water taught us to harmonize with the law of nature, so we can achieve our goal without being stoppable. Self-surrender is not the same as self-apathy. Self surrendering to GOD, is to let the forces of nature to guide our way, all the times. GOD has the ultimate plan for each of us. The plan that will surely be true, no matter how hard you resist.

ps : in this rainy season, the weather is also become cold. some hot drink could make us more comfortable.
