Water is essential to life..as we all know, Earth is part water and part land. Our body is composed of 75% water. Our everyday living and household chores can be made possible because of water. We can count on numerous ways how water has helped us survive. Water is commensurate to our existence. Thus, because of water we survive.
But water can also be a form of destruction.When we talk of natural disasters and calamities, floods and typhoons can destroy lives and property. In health, contaminated water can make us sick with diseases such as typhoid fever and cholera.
When we dehydrate, we need water to replenish our body but when we over hydrate we need to flush out the excess water because it can also be hazardous to our health.
So what do you think water really is? A source of life? or a potential destruction?

I would always say that water is a source of life, without it we would not be here. Even though it can be destructive in large quantities, look around you and you will see that this is true in the case of most things. Things such as contaminated water are generally caused by humans and the pollution that we create every day. We flush out excess water because we do not need to use it, such is the same with almost everything that we put into our bodies.

Everything in excess is a cause of destruction. Thusd, we cannot asurvive if we don´t eat, but we can die of overeating. So everything in the world in too much quantities is hazardous to health and life.
So I won´t say anything about water: there´s no need to.

It's a source of life if we follow its role ordained by Nature. It's a source of destruction if we twist its role in the whole scheme of things and violate Nature's laws. Still, its wild energy can be tamed, but beware of getting careless. Its impact is negative only to the extent that you have made yourself and your fellow human beings vulnerable.
