Water is Extraordinarily Precious!

I'm thirsty and I don't want to get dehydrated that will leave my lips cracked and my body weak.  I need to drink water not only every couple of hours and every day but all throughout my life as long as I have the (not so free) access to it.  Water is a precious commodity that is very essential for every human being's everyday existence.  Without water we can't cook our food, drink our favorite beverages, wash our dirty clothes, clean our comfortable rooms in our homes and the most important thing is we can't take our personal hygiene consisting of taking a bath and brushing our teeth.  Water is very essential in our daily existence in this planet not only for the human being but for the animals, plants and other living things that will not survive absent this special and magical element.  It has been said that people can survive much longer without a food but can't stay long without a water.  A single drop of water can dampen the thirsty lips and save some more of a precious time of living.

I was able to witness a dying plant that almost got completely withered if not for the timely saving grace of sprinkling a needed amount of water to let it go back to live standing still in it's pot and embrace the sun's glare.  Water is valuable to this planet where we live and exist and I wonder why people do not value it since I was able to witness and saw some people who wasted enough of it instead of preserving and conserving it just in case in the future we will run out of it.  It is true that we can regain back a droplets of water through water's life cycle.  But we may regret it that in the end we may just discover the scarcity of it that it may cost more than the value of our food in the table or double and triple the price of our gasoline.

Life is too short to be wasted and so with water.  Water is in abundance now but who knows in the future if the supply of it will make our life more miserable as it may become no longer a cheap commodity.  Water nowadays isn't free as often pay for it with our local water facility just to have an ease of access for a clean water at our homes, offices, etc.  I envied those real free water that was once enjoyed as completely free from the streams, lakes and ponds that some of them exists until today.  Water is essential for our survival and it is indeed extraordinarily precious.  It is not yet too late for us to preserve or conserve our water sources.  My own act of saving and preserving my water consumption may help a lot.
