Sparkling Water vs Spring Water

Sparkling water can surely add some fun fizz to our palate, but once the fizz is gone, all there is left is a tart-tasting water. Water is way more versatile, cleansing and quenching (as long as it being kept fresh).

I once heard a woman talking about her divorce and said "He was my best friend, but after being married for twenty plus years, the spark wasn't there anymore".

I don't think she tossed away two decades of great chemistry with her best friend solely over an absence of spark. If that is the case, 'tis a very sad ending for such a nice relationship. They most likely had deeper problems because, to divorce over a lack of sparks? Really? Does that mean that she would rather start all over with a stranger just for the spark and renounce on her "best friend"? Maybe he wasn't such a great friend after all...And when she refers to the spark, does she mean the physical attraction only?

Spring water, as dull as it may seem, is so quenching and just as strong, if not stronger. Instead of always trying to keep that initial spark, why not focus on transforming or molding the relationship together? How about keeping the relationship fresh like spring water by remaining connected, trusting and playful with each other? Sadly too often enough, people see the first crack on their water glass, but wait too long before addressing the problem, and let the water spill all over the place.

Sparks bring people together, but it is not what should keep them together. It is just the initial stage of love. Well at least, in my belief. "From a little spark bursts a mighty flame." Real love is the Art of mastering that mighty flame, keep it alive, and controlled so that all the emotions, strong or weak, are kept safe and channeled the proper way. Too much fire can burn the entire relationship in whole, and not enough fire can freeze the room, create a distance and make everything cold.

Sparkling or Spring Water, even when all the water seems to have disappeared, it simply changed its form and can return to water...It does not mean it is completely lost, especially when so much water had time to accumulate through time...
