Essentially...

The past few days were really, truly hot. Seriously. And by hot, I mean it felt almost like a you're on a tropical beach, playing under the sun, but there's no scantily clad babes around.

So yeah, it kinda sucked.

And while in an altogether different scenario the combo of hot and sucked might actually be a great thing indeed, these past three days certainly ain't it.

The heat makes one wish for rain.

For water, the essence of life.

And for such high esteem to be given to the liquid is not without solid reasons.

I'm sure you've been taught or at least heard from somewhere that about 70% of the average human body is pretty much water. Which perhaps explains how some of us can move so fluidly, while others get to be so jiggly with it.

Anyhow, it's simple logic that if 70% of you is water, then by God, water has got to be bleeding important for you, right? If that ever runs out, you're pretty much screwed.

Such is water's importance in our lives, and since He designed it to be that way, our Creator is kind enough to set up a system in which the availability of water can be guaranteed. *Whoa, the plot just took a wild turn! I bet you weren't expecting this now, were you? :p

It's called the water cycle, a system which is a true beauty in its simplicity.

To start with, you have evaporation/transpiration, a process which basically converts water in the earth's surface into water vapors in the air.

Then all those rogue water vapors will huggle up and get cozy and form water droplets in rain clouds through a process called condensation.

To complete the cycle, then we have the precipitation process, or to put simply, rain, which returns water into the earth's surface, providing us living things with sustenance.

Now when the cycle runs along its course smoothly, all is well in this world, barring other shits happening and hitting the fan, of course.

But say the precipitation part got...hindered for some reason or another, and the rain is not coming, while the sun keeps at it and continues to evaporate water up and away from the earth. Well then, sooner or later, there won't be anymore water left for the earth to give now, would it?

So in the end, it all comes down to give and take. And as noble as one might intend to be, you can't keep on giving without taking some in return. Else, the water will simply run dry.

And now that you think of it, a lot like love, this water business is.
