Water of Immeasurable Worth

Imagine that there is a spring somewhere in the world, filled with the purest and most satisfying water in existence. It sparkles like crystals, facets of light dancing upon the flowing surface. A single drop is more precious than all the diamonds the Earth has to offer.
Imagine that you stand before this legendary spring, and you are dying of thirst. You take a moment to memorize the moment, the whispering discussions of the overhanging trees, the smooth boulders standing as somber guardians, and the song of the wind as it carries the rumor if the spring down the mountain where others may hear the Call. It has required many sacrifices and suffering to get there, but there is no doubt in your mind that the long journey was worth every step. Kneeling down, you cautiously take a sip, and you feel a great joy as you then proceed to drink your fill. The water is the most delicious thing you have ever tasted, and you know that this spring will never run dry.
Now that you know where this spring is, you feel a strong desire to share it with everyone you know, so that they may also feel this happiness you are experiencing.
