but once gaining perspective, one attains wisdom.

as each person who is in any way affected
by that situation might view it.

and therefore a historical perspective,
as well from as having the perspective of imagination -
the realm of the what-might-be
inhabited by futurists and science-fiction writers.

or what harm is caused by its water.
The River is the River, and that is all there is to it.
