Summary

This quote highlights the difference between faith and science. Faith is depicted metaphorically as an unquenchable thirst, portraying the belief in something greater than oneself. On the other hand, science is symbolized by the process of drinking from the ocean but only needing a small amount (a glass or two) to satiate the thirst. This implies that while faith may rely on an abundance of trust and belief, science relies on empirical evidence and controlled experiments to validate ideas in a more measured and limited manner.

And the moral of the story is that you don't remember what happened. What you remember becomes what happened. And the second moral of the story, if a story can have multiple morals, is that Dumpers are not inherently worse than Dumpees - breaking up isn't something that gets done to you; it's something that happens with you.
