I've been thinking a lot about what water represents today. Where it came from. The water we have now is the same water that it has been for as long as the Earth has been in existence. It has never changed. It is always the same water. It has taken on many forms throughout its life. It has been ice, steam, mist, clouds, even pee. So if you think about it, whenever you drink water, you are drinking something that has been ice, steam, mist, clouds, and pee. There is a high possibility that you are drinking dinosaur pee, cat pee, even pee that was once yours!
In Las Vegas, there is very little water. They get some from Lake Mead, and the rest from purified waste. That's right. You people in Las Vegas are drinking poop, pee, and diarrhea. Fancy that. First, all of the big chunks of crap (pun intended) are filtered out. Then the waste goes through other filtration processes like going through sediments and going under UV radiation. Then the water is pumped back to the city for you to drink, bath in, wash clothes and dishes, and everything else. Quite an amazing process I think. People in Las Vegas are probably drinking the same portion of water they have been for years.
Water has so many uses. It is like a fix it solution for everything. It helps you heal from sickness, clean, and all kinds of other things. We can even play in it! We swim in it, have snowball fights, build snow caves and men. We build igloos, cool down our soda... so many possibilities. It plays a huge role in our lives. We need it to live. It helps us digest our food, keeps us cool, and keeps our bodies regulated. It is a miracle worker.
So, the next time you down a glass of water, spend some more time thinking about everything it does for you. Think about all of the amazing things it has been through, how it has witnessed the world from the time it began. And the next time you condemn it to flushing down the excrements from your body, say sorry.
