People Are Like Rivers

People are like rivers. 
The river water is the same everywhere
But every river is narrow 
In some places it's fast current
Some places is wide
Some is slow in water flow
In some places the river water is clear
In some places the river water is turbid
In some places the water is cold
In some places the water is warm
The same goes with people
Human beings are embryos
With various human characteristics
Sometimes people show its humanity
Sometimes people show its inhumanity
He often behaves, unrecognizable
But in fact it's all in him.

In any situation, condition and the likes, people adaptability is incomprehensible and unbelievable. People everywhere they goes in whatever means and challenges they thrive. Love you here, Darlene./Hugo.
