Our life is like a stream, it constantly flows and moves, but sometimes that movement is blocked by a dam. This does not stop the water from working around it, and eventually working its way through it. In our life, like a stream we too come across dams. Like the water we need to work through them to break through to aid in ending our suffering. Suffering is a constant cycle of streams with no were to go like a blocked dam, until we work through it, and burst that dam wide open.
