And then there's a quote from Bob Marley going the other way - in the abundance of water, the fool is thirsty.
We live a world of abundance, our problem is we don't know how to care for it. I am lucky, we live on rainwater, and it is perfectly safe to do so. We have a bore for emergencies, and the groundwater is not polluted. We have a creek running from the forest. Others are not so lucky. Airborne contaminants and polluted groundwater seem to be the norm in many places, what folly that we don't care for that most essential of the elements that make life possible.
