We get thirsty? It is one of the necessities of life, and useful in many ways, and, it can be fun too. It is important to remember that there have been times and places that bathing was considered unhealthy, with easily sensed results.
There are anthropologists who think some of our physical differences as Homo Sapiens from earlier ancestors developed in adapting to a beach combing life style.
I think we are drawn to it because we are comprised mainly of it. I also believe because we are surrounded by it for 9 months it brings us comfort and a sense of oneness with one another and the earth. P.S. I sent you a message the other day on your Youtube channel dear but just in case you did not get it …Happy Belated Birthday.
Being one of these humans who is definitely drawn to water, I think it is for a lot of different reasons, some of which have already been mentioned. But I also think it is because it is so mysterious. It can be very calming but at the same time violent. It gives life, but can also destroy. It’s moving but can also be still. I am in the water as much as I possibly can be. I just love the water.
Because are made of mostly water, we’re born through water, and the moon effects use internally just as it effects the tides. Like seeks like. Also, there’s the whole dehydration thing.
First of all because we need it to survive. We will die of thirst before we die of starvation. Second because millennia ago we came from water and it still has a capacity to calm us and make us feel better.
It makes up the majority of our chemistry and holds mystery of another world. Floating and swimming in water is the closest we will get to the sensation of flight without any mechanisms. Also, when I’m stinky, I’m drawn to the shower.

I once had a professor say he believed it went back to our primordial days and our evolution from the water to the land.

Maybe because we are composed mostly of water.

I think it has something to do with that. Maybe it is in our DNA to feel a longing for the water?

It’s life-giving and soul-feeding. It’s beautiful. It’s mesmerizing. It’s calming. It’s intense at times. It’s essential.

Could it be because it reminds us of the safety and security of our time in our mother’s womb?

I might. I’m not sure, but if I had to guess I would say it does relate to something in our DNA or experience.

I am leaning toward your view that we came from water and are drawn to the water. Plus we are comprised of mostly water.

The idea of DNA makes sense to me. If we are water then we might be more drawn to water.

We need it to survive. We can live without food longer than we can without water. There wouldn’t be coffee or beer without it!

Well, we have to have water or we die. But we can’t drink ocean water yet the vast majority of people are drawn to the ocean. It makes me wonder why?

I guess it can be soothing. I don’t really care for it. I’m paranoid to drown even though I know how to swim. Lol.

You don’t enjoy looking at the water? I rarely get in because I don’t trust sharks, but I do enjoy the serenity.

Not that much. Lol. I’m from the desert so I don’t see water too often, only when I’ve gone to California and Florida.
