Guest guest Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 In this life, I have come to understand the importance of being like the rock and the water. Be like the rock in your convictions, strong and unmovable; Standing firm on your ideology. Be like the water in your understanding, fluid and flowing forward; Accepting of other's viewpoints with love and compassion. For in this life you will not agree with everything that is presented to you. We must be like the water understanding and respecting another's point of view while also being able to flow around that idea without it hindering our own uniqueness. We must be like the rock confident in our own understanding and immovable in our firm assurances while also allowing other to be whom and what there are in their own marvelous way. BUT… The water takes the trace minerals from the rock thereby enriching its very essence. The rock's rough places are made smooth making it stronger, better, and beautiful. Therefore, they both enrich the lives of the other and both are made better for having met and shared this moment in time thereby helping to create the exquisiteness of one another's existence.
