Do you agree with this analogy about the Ocean ?
Just like the vast ocean which adapts to the colour of the sky both in the morning and the evening. In the morning the ocean appears Sky Blue and in the night it appears Dark black just like the sky. The important thing is that, in both these times, the basic characteristic of the ocean does not change i.e it continues to be the ocean both at night and day. The analogy of the ocean can be applied to the likes of those people who continue to remain the good humble human beings despite going through the Happy times and sad times of their life. What do you say ?

that's interesting- the superficial state of the ocean is dependent upon outside circumstances, yet the essence of the ocean is always the same.

Though if I were applying this to humans, I would broaden it to say that in any situation, one can addapt to what's going on around them (i.e. their life situation, a particular culture they're in, who they're with, what they do, etc.), and that no matter how they may appear on the outside, their true essence remains the same.

I think indifference to success or failure is something many strive for but few, if any, achieve.

The ocean simply is. It has no choice.
Humans on the other hand, have a choice in how we view the world. Our attitudes are shaped by our thoughts. Goodness and humility are choices we make.

The ocean can kill a human. A human can't kill the ocean.
