Man’s Life … a Flowing River

Any river on this Earth, be it the Nile,or the wild Amazon or the great Ganges did not take the massive form right from its beginning.

They were tiny, puny n little drops of water, that put together forming a little flowing water stream.

Being small, the water flow of the tiny river never stopped. It flows where ever it finds a slope.

Over a period of time, they get along with other tributaries, become mammoth sized.

Enough said about the biography of a river, which is likely to be known to an elementary school kid.

My question, once the river enters Its full Avatar, can anyone specifically point out and find out with the naked eye, whether the river is flowing down or lying there, excepting for few waves touching the feet, standing in the bank?

My view, I feel we don’t. We hardly feel any difference in the flow of river water. Try to observe this next time you hit river banks !!!

What I’d like to convey is, similar to a river, be it Ganges or tiny tributary, irrespective of their size, they were are small, very small, as small as a drop of water….. so are WE, the human beings.

We were too small egg in our mother’s womb, we take birth, grow up, get along with other people, become powerful, amass wealth, …. so on.. and we become relatively, a mammoth.

But unlike a river, which just passes and moves on in its life silently, til it the time it reaches its salvation, the Ocean, We, the humans, start showing-off, make propaganda in our lives.

The older the river gets, the greater will be its distance measured between its two banks. Also, though it makes a lot of noise, falling down the hills, the times it reaches plains, it starts to get silent n that continues forever.

Yet, we start our life with noise, and the same continues while we grow-up, in proportion with the age. The greater our achievement, the louder the propaganda.

Also, unlike river which takes its subsidiaries along with it, we tend to leave people behind n cut them off our lives as we move on….

The river does a great help to the soils it flows through, by leaving the deposits of the fertile soil from mountains at the banks of the river from which it flows.

Instruct of giving, we become greedy, every day, every minute. Rather than helping, we become selfish!!

To conclude, the river and a human, both have a similar timeline of activities in their lives. But as they move ahead, the lifeless river takes the role of helping everyone… while humans become soul-less but with life in bodies becoming selfish in each aspect of life.

“I am no parent, I am no teacher, I am…  like everyone …  just a drop of water in an Ocean”
