Water is essential for life, and it is respected by all religions. Something so important as water would have people think it should be elevated to a higher position, but that would go against water's nature. It is constantly moving downward, it goes through the earth and and brings life to those that dwell within it. Roots are caressed by it and underground beings are nurished from it. It gives all that it is able to give freely to those that need it, and asks nothing in return but still seeks to continue on its way.
How would you model yourself after water?

This is proof that you can make bad metaphors out of anything.

To be water can also me to be crapped on, pissed on, flushed down a toilet, baked in a hot sun, full of mosquitos. Your life can be held up by dams, water containers, and irrigation systems. I perfer to be human.

Water seeks its lowest level, it turns hard and cold and can be deadly in the form of steam.

John 4
When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,
2(Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)
3He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.
4And he must needs go through Samaria.
5Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.
7There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
8(For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)
9Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
10Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
11The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?
12Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
13Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
14But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
