 Water is as the humanitarian who does not act for praise or acceptance but rather acts from a place of genuine love and care for those it serves This is the work that water performs It seeks the low place and nourishes all things beneath and above it without desire for recompense Water does its work well without seeking reward because it contains and sustains all things It has been said that water is life and life does not seek payment for there is no need to seek that which is already possessed by it Life found the rewards of its actions in accomplishing them when work becomes a source of joy a Sustainable career has been found for the soul to pursue In the same way may each of us practice the virtuous attributes found within these pages and let go of our attachment for reward Let us instead be satisfied with the good work we do Knowing that if we only ever do right just to receive a reward then the right thing done becomes selfishness
