I want to thank everyone’s contribution. I am happy that you guys gave this question a go. I know that there is no one right answer. This question may not require any thinking at all but actually our imaginations to answer it for us.
For me, this question talks about water. Water as precious as of all the elements in the world symbolizes spirituality. Water like many of us goes where things take them, they like to go with the flow and follow things. This can be bad for ones self-identification and their lack of individuality. People who live on nothing but water are craving for affection from others. They want to be acknowledged and loved. However, it is not about other people’s love we should seek first to be like water but to love one self before you can begin seeking love.
I would like to hear from all of your opnions !

To use your analogy.... everyone starts like water.
Sooner or later though... most people freeze into ice-bergs and become rigid and unchanging...
You might then in turn look critically upon those who are still in the water phase and consider them merely followers, but that is only on the assumption that they will eventually attain a rigid state as well in the form taken further downstream...
There are precious few who will forever stay in the waterlike form.... for that means less that they follow any given person, but rather that they follow the way of life and constantly change for all situations to fit as follows suit.
Change is the natural way of the Universe. Rigidity is the human curse that causes us to adapt.... freeze.... become set in our ways and eventually abandoned by time itself.
We take on the notion of a fixed identity.
We draw lines and claim this is what we are and are not.
Those who flow aren't necessarily followers.... but merely those who, for however long, aren't concerned about the notion of personal identity... and are instead tied into a greater concept within which they are but the motion of a ripple.

Living on water, you live in a Boat.
Living like water, you swim around like a fish.
Thought I throw something in that not the same as everyone else.
