A river carries more of it's destructive aspect when it takes on too much. Takes in too much water from rains and run-of. If we take on too much we can become destructive. I myself find that when I take on too much that I begin to push, snap at, and erode the joy of those around me. When I'm stay within my limits/banks I provide nourishment to those growing around me and I can slowly refine the rocks in my way sometimes even turning them into beautiful creations. Moderation in all things is very good advice.
