The Ocean

A little wave was bobbing along in the ocean, having a grand time. It was enjoying the wind and the fresh air until it noticed the other waves in front crashing against the shore.

"My God, this is terrible," the wave said. "Look what's going to happen to me?"

Then came along another wave. It saw the first wave, looking grim, it asked, "Why do you look so sad?"

The first wave replied, "We're all going to crash! All of us waves are going to be nothing. Isn't it terrible?"

The second wave said, "No, you don't understand. Actually, you're not a wave, you're a part of the ocean. You are the ocean."
