The ripple effect will depend on how the stone is thrown, the angle
of entry into the water, the weight and size of the stone also
counts.
It depends on what kind of ripple effect that you want, as it also
takes some skill to achieve that effect in the precise fashion that
is initially desired.
It takes skill and experience in the 'Art of Stone Throwing'.
Have you tried throwing stone that skips on the surface of the
water, and see how many skips-off-the-surface can be achieved, and
how far that stone can travel across ?
With each skip, that stone will create a ripple each time it
touches the surface of the water and move on, until the energy of
the throw dissipate and force the stone to sink with a final and
last ripple.
With the "I Know What is BEST" attitude, are the present Elite
skilled enough to 'throw the stone' with the best and most
effective ripple ?
The present group is riding on the reputation of a Political Party
that was created by the First Generation, and developed further by
the Second.
Surprisingly, the First Generation had the benefit of throwing the
stone NOT in calm water, but during a storm, and it succeeded
against all odds to have each stone skipping across the surface and
causing many ripples with each stone. It created a tall reputation
for that generation of Elite.
The Second Generation had cast its own stone during another period
of less stormy times, and also caused its own ripples, although not
as effectively as the First.
Will this Third Generation of Elite Rulers be like the stone itself
that loses the energy of the first throw - as the stone travels
further and with each skip off the surface, and causing less effect
as it travels through time ?
Should we not be trying a New Stone Thrower, and give any others -
who has newer and more enthusiastic energy - the opportunity to
make better ripples ?
