Day 9

Swimming in the dead sea is definitely a unique experience where even the worst swimmer will survive because you can’t help but float on top. When I had the chance to experience this it wasn't the most pleasant experience when the water is over 40 degrees Celsius and you have to be careful not to get water into your mouth or eyes. Being stupid, I accidentally wiped my face leaving my eyes burning until I went to rinse them in tap water. 

You might wonder how and why this floating ordeal occurs. In the Holy Land, there’s two main bodies of water: Sea of Galilee and Dead sea-connected by the Jordan river. The Sea of Galilee receives water through the natural cycle and gives water to the Dead sea, but along with the water is the salt that flows into the Dead Sea leaving it with 30% salt content allowing the swimmer to never sunk. 

The Sea of Galilee has life because it receives and gives, 

where the Dead sea is "dead" because it receives but does not give. 

This basic explanation can translate into something greater,

meaning in life that the simple eye can understand through observing nature.

Life is forgiving love

simply put,

"To live is a rare thing, most people only exist" (Oscar Wilde)
