What can a ripple be? What if we punch it, squeeze it, rub it, blow it, and then what happens? We come to this world as human beings, make some impacts and disappear, just like ripples. No matter what we are facing, we stick to what we believe and what we genuinely are. We don't matter anymore; the ripple matters.
I illustrated such an imitation by 3D simulations. It was interesting yet intuitive to see how the ripple reacts to various conventional forces.
