"I like spring, but it is too young. I like summer, but it is too proud. So I like best of all autumn, because its tone is mellower, its colours are richer, and it is tinged with a little sorrow. Its golden richness speaks not of the innocence of spring, nor the power of summer, but of the mellowness and kindly wisdom of approaching age. It knows the limitations of life and its content."- Lin Yutang

It is estimated that we can survive twenty-five days without food; six days without sleep, but only four days without water.
What is Water?
‘There is nothing in the world like water. Without it, our world would be a very different place. Water covers over two-thirds of Earth and makes all life possible. It shapes our planet's surface, carving canyons and moving continents. It works with the Sun's energy to control our climate. And it is essential to our survival, as well as for food, transportation, sanitation, and even power. We need to conserve and protect this precious resource.’- American Museum of Natural History
The well-known statement 'No water – no life' is significant in the life of all living things on earth. Water is accepted as the basis of life on the planet (Jeremiah 2007:2). Nothing on this earth has life without water. Water was in existence even before life:
In the beginning of creation, when God made heaven and earth, the earth was without form and void, with darkness over the face of the abyss, and a mighty wind that swept over the surface of the water.-(Gn 1:1–2)- Privatisation of water systems: crime against humanity

The Course of Empire - Destruction. Painting by Thomas Cole
‘Civilizations die in familiar patterns. They exhaust natural resources. They spawn parasitic elites who plunder and loot the institutions and systems that make a complex society possible. They engage in futile and self-defeating wars. And then the rot sets in. The great urban centres die first, falling into irreversible decay. Central authority unravels. Artistic expression and intellectual inquiry are replaced by a new dark age, the triumph of tawdry spectacle and the celebration of crowd-pleasing imbecility.’ - Chris Hedges, in ScheerPost
