Water

Blog 74 …

     Attention, mine, could easily be diverted, I discovered.  After using the tap one morning, something not too important (I couldn’t recall now what it was!), must have pulled away my concentration; I let the tap run water, not just for a minute or so, but a whole hour!  Jitters and guilt ran my back and brain, and rightfully so.  “What was so important out there that pulled me away?  What triggered my mind to wander from the use of the water still running?  Why had I not turned it off before I jumped into some other obscure act?” I inwardly searched and searched, but no distinct answer popped out of my head.  Carelessly or intentionally leaving water running crazily that way was a horrific and unwise use of essential resource.  One mustn’t let it ever get wasted. Without potable water, we’d all be in a mess.  We’d suffer from dehydration.  We’d acquire all sorts of physical trouble that require clean water to keep our body healthy.  Preparing food would be in a sham without it.  Countless chores in the homes and all over the community depend on clean water.  There are businesses and ecosystems that would fall apart without safe water source.  Even far and more important, a small amount of clean water would quench every thirst.  My pointlessly and mindlessly wasting water today should never ever happen again!
