Personally, for me, water (particularly sea)is a something special. This is something that can lead your mind in order to reassure, to give hope for the best. You come and just watch the waves, gulls, ships. If you have a problem, that something is wrong in your life, you just need to escape for a trip to the pond. Even the Russian poet Joseph Brodsky wrote in his poem "Support someone's not wait,
Sit on the train, disembark at the sea "
You can bring a lot of evidence, but just take my word for it. Water -is the best psychologist.
