Lessons From Nature
The Rush of the Fast-Flowing River
Don’t let your own voice be drowned out by the collective roar (of Medium)
You stand by the side of the river, watching as the water rushes by relentlessly. It is loud, and incredibly captivating. The river seems to roar with the force of a thousand voices.
It is a beautiful thing. And you want to add your voice to that collective. To be part of that collective.
So you wade in, and you find that there is indeed so much to experience. The constant torrents of water keep giving you more stimulation. More insights. More knowledge. You absorb it all. You submerge yourself in the currents of the river.
They awaken you! They excite you! They inspire you!
The rush of the roaring river is so enthralling, so addicting. You keep wanting more, and the river keeps giving you more. You become completely fixated on the ever-flowing cascade of the water.
You’re on top of the world!
Until you’re not.
Until all you can hear is the roaring of the river. Until you become completely overloaded. Until you can no longer absorb anything.
