Isn't it strange that some people will throw a little stone into a pond to see what the little ripples will do.

Other people chuck a great big rock into the pond, knowing the waves will cause upset and damage. When that has happened they then wade back into the pond to retrieve the rock - just so they can do the same all over again. :-(

Some people should also remember The Water Babies by Charles Kingsley.

Mrs Do as you would be done by, and Mrs Be done by as you did. :-D

Throw a boulder, and someone may throw it back at you!!

Some people live in such a bubble that the boulder just bounces off, even though they have just waded in for their rock and used it again. ;-)
