I had read the Tao Te King of Lao Tse, I fell in love with it, cuz I readed in it a beatifull metaphor about the ocean and rivers, which says that the men and women could be a river or the ocean, It depends of their position; if you prefer to be on hightest places you will fall as the rivers fall from the highest to the lowest. But if you decide to be in the lowest, later or sooner all rivers will come before you and their drops will make you bigger, you like it or not.

But if you really want to be the ocean, do you need to know; there is someone who's bigger than you; and his warm will will degrade your greatness to return something to the rivers, which give back to you what the sun has taken from you as long as you remain down like the ocean.
