As a little kid, I always thought fire was the most powerful of the elements. After all, fire was the only one that would hurt me – air was just air, water just water, earth just earth. As I’ve grown up, I’ve come to realize the power of water especially. The massiveness of the ocean is still something difficult to grasp. I once heard that there were fifteen times as many gallons of water in the ocean as there are animals on planet Earth. I’m not sure of the validity of the statement, but it is simply impossible to grasp the insane mass of the ocean.
