These patterns include waking up early to run two miles, watching the sun rise over the horizon while perfecting yoga poses, or praying to God at various moments throughout the day.…

    Mahatma Gandhi once said, “Earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s needs, but not every man’s greed.” In Mat Weiser’s op-ed article “Water Controversies Boil Over,” Weiser explains how and why water is becoming a source of crises and conflict in many parts of the world. He states that although there is enough water for us all, poor management of the supply and the varying beliefs of who the water belongs to is causing the problems. The author suggests that the only way to solve the potential water conflicts is to accept that water belongs to us all. Mat Weiser is correct in his analysis of the water situation because people all over the world are fighting for this natural resource, and people must become more aware of their usage of water…
