Biology has long taught that life is mostly made up of water but the connections between the two dont just end there... There is a metaphors galore... !!
Come to think of it... our life is like water. Sometimes stagnant and just reflecting our surroundings while sometimes, it creates its own identity as it flows with passion and purpose, directed towards a goal bruising every stone that comes in its way... sometimes, it is calm as the sea and sometimes it is violent like a waterfall... sometimes, its just meandering through a path of least resistance and sometimes it cuts through the terra firma giving rise to magnificence because there is no where else to go... floating by, sometimes, as wisps of cloud when the sheer joy of existence makes you want to fly, sometimes rendered frozen as ice due to the unremitting rigors of the climes... sometimes, pure as the early morning dew and sometimes defiled due to the world around...
Our life like water, does change its state too... a little bit of external influence and we have water floating in the heavens above or buried as the ice below... Isnt it similar to how people are altered by the circumstances they encounter... ? A life of pleasure makes you light and free of burdens, ready to float above the rest, while the air of adversity could freeze you to the core and make you withstand the worst life could offer... But, at the end of it all, we are all basically the same.... Water and only water !!! And all of our life we metamorphose and transform between the states as the world affects us and as we affect the world....
