Difference Between Waterfall And River!

Last week we set out for vacation to Kerala. The plan was made by my wife to the places which was not very polpular as Kerala is famous for.

So last day of the trip we reached to Athirapally. The place is famous for waterfall and few of movies were shot at this place. Fortunately we got the hotel just nearby to the waterfal. In early morning myself and my wife planned to explore the waterfall while walking. 

We reached to near waterfall and enjoyed the beauty of nature. As usaual many of tourist also started coming to the place. Waterfall has its beauty not just in view but it's sound also give rest to our ears. It was amazing experience away from heavy and buzzing traffic of the city. It was giving rest to soul. So we spent our time with serenity. 

While watching the waterfall, the questions struck to me. Why do the people come to see waterfall? What is difference between waterfal and river?

I have thought on it and answer came to my mind. Waterfall comes with flow full of energy. It faces a lot obstruction while flowing but it doesn't bother for obstructions even more obstruction gives more excitement and energy to flow. Each of the particles of waterfal flow together and demoatrate its energy, excitement and togetherness. 

While a river flows with with its own pace. It doesn't have excitement and energy as waterfall have. But it has own pace of movement may be slow and steady but never stops. 

Both the piece of nature has its own importance. We can learnt a lot from them. Our life should be as energetic and exciting as waterfall but our pace of movement in life should continuing as river. Most important learnings we can have that we never compare ourselves from others. Yes we must appreciate and embrace the talent of others and if possible to emulate them or keep proud of our own capabilities. Waterfall and River both are important for our life and it has own quality. Same way each person is special and posses talent.
