Be like water | Motivational Write-up

I was sitting on the stairs of my building and watching the waves forming in the lake opposite to our building. Suddenly I remembered Bruce lee’s famous words.

“Be like water. Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless — like water. Now you put water in a cup, it becomes the cup; you put water into a bottle it becomes the bottle; you put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.”

I was deep into understanding this famous quote, and suddenly someone threw a bag of garbage into the water. Now the water was corrupted, filled with dirt, slowly but surely the water will get contaminated and will breed mosquitos, flies, algae and different viruses that will harm humans, animals and the fishes. Probably the contaminated water will kill some fishes, ducks and other amphibians.

Same is with the human mind, all it takes to corrupt a human mind is an idea with a wrong intention. And when this happens all our actions are poisonous.
