This theme was derived from our understanding that like a river, culture may seem permanent but this is a trick of our perception because culture is always changing and adjusting to different circumstances. Moreover, just as the molecules of a river, acting together, constantly reproduce or transform the rapids, waves and whirlpools, so human beings, acting together, constantly reproduce or transform our cultural norms. These waves, whirlpools or cultural norms may seem to be static objects, but they are really processes. We cannot scoop out a whirlpool and forever remove it, as it will simply reform. To stop a whirlpool we would have to, literally, "change the river's flow"
