The Potential Parable

Life is like a boy throwing rocks into a lake.
On one shore of the lake there is a town called Passion and on the other Provision.
The boy was raised in Passion throwing rocks whose ripples lapped the shore.
As he grew he knew, instinctively, he had to move to Provision and as he threw his rocks they lapped its banks. But he always longed for home.
As long as the echos of the ripples at Provision would last he would go back to Passion. Then he would return.
As he grew his outrospection inspired him and his experiences strengthened him.
He began to throw larger and larger rocks higher and higher until they hit the middle of the lake – ripples racing to either shore.
