The purest form of water, in a vapour form waiting to condense inside a holy place, inside a bigger cup varying in size, shape, color, some contaminated, some still retaining a little purity. Irrespective of the nature of the cup, the vapour still condenses to its purest form. It takes months to condense and once condensed, the droplet gets its own little cup but still doesn't lose its purity. The cup grows bigger everyday. The tiny cup gets its first few drops of water from where it condensed within. Utmost care is taken not to contaminate the water in the tiny cup. The first few drops added from another cup, even though dirty does not alter the nature of the water in the tiny cup. It often reminds the other bigger cups around it on how important it is to remain pure. However the bigger cups continues to add dirty water to their cups, sometimes knowingly and sometimes unknowingly. Shouldn't the bigger cups know they are supposed to add only pure water to fill themselves, for their tiny containers continues to get daily dose of water droplets from them? Many forgets they feed their little cups and many don't care a damn.
Time passes and the tiny cups are no longer tiny and begins to add water from other smaller and bigger cups on their own, unaware of their purity. Though the water from other smaller cups are often pure, the water from the larger cups alter their level of purity. After all smaller cups can only add a little water while the larger cups contribute more. Now, the once pure water, get their own nature, based on the level of impurity added to them. Every bigger cup tries to purify the water in the smaller cups they own, by adding as much of pure water as they can. But the bigger cups need to have enough pure water to dilute the impurities in their smaller cups, else they will end up adding more dirty water to their smaller cups. The bigger cups cannot add hot water to the smaller cups, for the smaller cups are fragile and easily crack. Once cracked, its really difficult to hold water in them. Not all cups grow to their fullest.
The impurity in the water starts to corrode the inner walls of the cups. The longer the water remains impure, the more the cup gets corroded. It's really important to dilute the impurities with pure water still available in abundance, but it's entirely up to the cup to select its source of water. The sooner the cup realizes it's being corroded, the better. The scar left behind by the dirt often never disappears.
The smaller cups keeps growing and is exposed to water of all levels of purity. The larger cups never stop debating over who contaminates the water in the smaller cups, while every cup contributes in some way to alter the nature of the water in other cups around. It would be totally unfair to attribute the impurity to a certain cup. Water flows everywhere and so do their impurities. They are only diluted and never removed. Some larger cups do not notice the dirty water in their smaller cups for they are hidden by the smaller cups themselves and are not exposed until they begin to corrode. The smaller cups don't realize they get their own small cups when they grow bigger and they need to preserve some of their purity to add to their own smaller cups.
Purest water always comes from the sky above, but some cups don't agree and deny the existence of rain. They try to purify their own water, but remember the impurity can only be diluted and not removed. One can only hope the cups that truly want to self purify their impurities do not add their dirty water to other cups. Contaminating water in other cups doesn't make one's own water pure, they only spread impurity. Nonetheless, cups that don't believe that a source of pure water exists but realize the importance of not being a source of impurity is equally good.
The cups run around looking to add sugar to their water while letting the salt in them contaminate the water in other cups. More sugar in the water did no good to the purity of the water, but just improved its taste. Little did the cup realize that the purity is what matters the most and the taste was a mere material.
The cups have grown to their fullest and can grow no more. Now all they can do is replace the water in them. Remember all the impurities the cups accumulated over years that corroded their inner walls? They have developed cracks in the cups and they can no longer hold water to their full capacity. Its now too late to mend those cracks and the cup begins to fall apart. Little do the cups understand the reason behind their existence. All the sugar the cup was running behind to add to its water and all the salt that contaminated the water in the cup were left behind, some added to other cups and some just disappearing with the dust.
There comes a day when the cup breaks down to dust and after all the water it once held with pride was sucked by other cups, with just one final droplet left behind on a tiny piece of a diminishing cup. The one final drop with the same level of purity as the very first droplet that formed in the tiny cup, evaporates into the air, back to where it all started, in its purest form ever, only to condense again. This time in a different place, in a different cup, forgetting its past and unaware of its future.
