A beautiful story analogous to that of human beings. Although I believe that cycles can always be broken, in the end we live one adventure after another until we find a new one. I want to believe that I can change and extract the best from each experience... But I know it's not always like that, I know that sometimes I'm just the old me again.
That's a beautiful and truthful comment @aiuna.
I also believe there is a way out of this cycle. It's humbleness and forgiveness. I can't see any other way.
Each drop of water just flows with an uncontrolable force of nature. Each becomes nothing and then more than a drop in unison pour rain and finally back to the same place again.
Even though we come back to the same place we are not the same as we started.
I also think the cycle is an illusion. There is more more to the water drop than we see or imagine.
Water has a starting point somewhere in the history of earth. In the story "The Martian" the main character produced water with hydrogen and oxygen. It was an explosive reaction but it worked. The water did have some starting point.
The oxygen and hydrogen also had some starting point. In theoretical astrophysics researches measure the distance light travels to determine the age of the universe through studying supernovas and the black holes created. In doing so they find some evidence that there is an end to the universe as well. It's important to consider the possibility that life has a starting point and an end.
A story like this teaches us a basic principal of nature, but there is always more beyond the story like you @aiuna.
Some drops of water make a beautiful transparant shield. When light is refracted and reflected and refracted again through the water then all the colors of the spectrum are revealed. I think that is what happens to people like you.
I finished reading your answer with a big smile on my face. Thank you so much for this! I love the lightness of what you write and how you explain things.
