Last week our family went to the beach. My son wanted to build a sand castle. He went up to the water's edge and tried to pile wet sand together, the waves washed it away. He became extremely frustrated and started crying. Being 4 we had a hard time explaining to him that he had to move just a little further away from the water, kids.
We also tried to explain that a good sand castle needs wet sand mixed with dry.
Dry sand: Reason, intellect, logic
Wet sand: The emotional and "spiritual" needs of humans
When you try to build a castle out of dry sand, it is instantly clear that you are wasting your time. When you try to build one out of wet sand, it SEEMS to work, for a bit. But it ultimately falls apart. That's why you never see someone trying to build a castle out of dry sand but you always see people trying to build them from wet sand and crying when it falls apart.
Some people know to mix reason with spiritual needs. Some tend to spirit without reason and fail
