There was this male wave, having a great time bobbing
up and down on the ocean, when all of a sudden he
recognizes that he's gonna crash into the shore. In this
big wide ocean, he was now moving towards the shore. He'd
be annhilated. He got so despairing. "My god,
what's going to happen to me?"
He's got this despairing look on his face. Along comes
a female wave, bobbing up and down, having a great time.
The female wave says to the male wave, "why are you
so depressed?"
"You don't understand. You're going to crash into
that shore and you'll be nothing," he says.
"You don't understand.," she says. You're
not a wave, you're part of the ocean."
