Dirty Water

This is a thought I had several years ago in college and it has resurfaced recently. Here's an excerpt from an old journal:

"Another water fountain realization: I was sooo thirsty, [I went to the water fountain] and I filled up my cup with water…drank almost all of it, then went to fill it with some more water only to notice that there was some stuff floating around in it. The realization….this is how it is for many people living in this world ----it’s like they’re so thirsty that they don’t care that the water is dirty."

The question to ponder: what does it look like to drink a glass of fresh clean water that goes down smooth? Where are we settling for dirty water instead of the good stuff?
