I can build a canal for what I think I need from the water,
and I don’t create the stone or the wood that I would need to build the canal.
I can do my best to plan how the canal should be designed most efficiently,
and I might make a few mistakes building it, more or less.
I can source the strongest materials available to me,
and there may be weaknesses in my design.
I can guess what the coming seasons may bring,
and I cant know or control how much rain there will be or if the water will always be clean.
I can take the needs of my neighbours into consideration,
and I cant know if the canal will be hurtful or helpful for everyone.
