Ripples - Page 2

Ripples refer to small waves or undulating patterns that form on the surface of a liquid, such as water, as a result of disturbances like a drop of rain, a stone thrown into the water, or any other agitation. This phenomenon creates a series of concentric circles that expand outward from the point of impact. In a broader context, "ripples" can also metaphorically describe the effects or consequences of an action that spread outwards and influence other areas or individuals, akin to how the distortions on the water surface propagate away from their source. The term is often associated with the idea that even small actions can have larger repercussions over time and distance, highlighting interconnectedness in various systems.
