The Little Rough Ugly Stone..

once upon a time,about 3.3 billion years ago,190 kilometres down inside the Earth,some carbon sources were submitted under unfathomable pressure and temperature ~ being so near to the magma running beneath the Earth crust and so deep within that the weight of the world crushed upon it.instead of letting the situation preceded over,the carbons slowly,slowly,slowly transformed into a rough,ugly stone.Remember now that this rough,ugly stone,or crystal,was formed under such unthinkable circumstances that it attained such hardness, beyond anything else in the whole wide world.At the moment,the world was not yet mapped.And many miracles beside this Rough,Ugly Stone was still uncovered.Some 3.3 billion years later,a creature classified as Homo sapien,which we called Human came along and dug below the soils of the Earth.Deep below,and what else did he found if it's not,yes,the Rough Ugly Stone.The Human took little Rough Ugly Stone to another  Human.The Other Human took the Rough Ugly Stone in his hand and polished the Rough Ugly Stone repeatedly,exerting more pressure and lotsof bzzzing on yet rougher surfaces,cutting facets into the Rough Ugly Stone,as if the circumstances that created the Rough Ugly Stone in the first place are not unendurable enough. Slowly,slowly the process went,excruciatingly until one day,the Rough Ugly Stone were placed into a covered glass case,displayed to a crowd of Humans that all admired the Rough Ugly Stone which is now no longer a rough ugly stone,but known as ... The Clear Diamond that sparkled through and through,that cut through anything,a result from all those billions of years of enduring pressures,temperatures and being buried in the dirts. Nearby,a not so well-to-do Human said some words of wisdom to his son.
:"Son,look at the BEAUTIFUL Diamond.Do you know that once upon some billion years,the Diamond are nothing more than the soot in our fireplace?Yet,buried deep under the Earth,it went through pressures and temperatures beyond your wildest imagination,and look what had come out of this patience.If only you can take the lesson from The Diamond,one day,you too will sparkle brighter than anything,and harder that not one critics can hurt you....."    Does this parable ring any bell to you?
