Life can be like a river water. Drinking from a high point of pure snow cap mountains from the Rockies or Sequoias.
I have had pure water from both rivers of those high elevations. In a glass or from clean hands, I expect a flavor or taste.
When drinking out of a plastic bottle or faucet usually you have a after taste. My life can be like water, having an attitude of heart towards others with pure emotions and feelings, or a selfish harsh attitude towards others. It always comes down to the thought “How do I desire to be treated from others? With my heart filled with the “fruits of the Spirit” or an attitude of revenge and hate will always come down to my own choice or decision.
