The rain comes down in waves and the wind blows it like the sea. You could drink the rain if you needed a drink but not the sea. If you are in a lifeboat and you drink seawater you will only want more and more. The more you drink the more you want. It will kill you finally. Many sailors have died that way. My friend that comes over to play with me, her father was at sea for many years. He told me about drinking seawater. He said everything in life can be that way if you let it. The more you drink the more you want.
