Just Add Water

JUST ADD WATER!
So much is hidden behind this phrase.
Every infomercial, ever, comes to mind....
" It's a plane that flies it's self... all you have to do is just add water!"
Well not exactly but you get the idea. Condensed orange juice, chia pets, just everything unnatural. Adding water creates a chemical reaction and makes things... well react.
But there are so many meaning behind that phrase in and out of context. Really human life is almost like that. Without water we die. The body can survive with out water up to three days. The body can survive up to forty days with out food. Without water we are dead.
Just add water.
Just hydrate yourself.
Just make sure you can function.
Just live.

  1. This is a good, good start. Very intriguing.

    I especially enjoyed reading from "But there are so many meaning behind that phrase in and out of context. Really human life is almost like that." It seems that you have a new mantra for reading the world and existence.

  2. Do you think Ray's "water" could be Nora? She sustains him in a horribly mundane environment and he does the same for her. Is water simply water or can it be metaphorical too?
