Is Your Life a puddle or an Ocean

On the first day of existence, we are perfect, and the book of our lives is new and unwritten. We start our journey; our young minds are like sponges absorbing every image and idea. For the first eight years, we are in the imprinting stage. We start to create/discriminate and prejudices about things we encounter. Absorbing positive and negative events that create the product, that is, the end result - ourselves. A life as a puddle would have minimum influence on those around them; this person is possibly concerened with their own profit or gain in life; while the life of an ocean would have limitless effects on those around them like waves on a vast sea.
