Chapter 47 living diamond

A child asked me: "Uncle, is there anything more valuable than diamonds in this world?" I asked him: "Why do you ask this question?" He said: "Because a model was published in the newspaper wearing a diamond." A dress studded with diamonds, I heard it is worth 100 million!" I said: "Yes! All living diamonds in this world are more precious and valuable than diamonds." "Aren't diamonds minerals? How can there be living diamonds?" What about diamonds?" I told the children that any valuable and growing thing can be called a living diamond.For example, we can say that flowers are living diamonds, love is living diamonds, wisdom is living diamonds, and a child is living diamonds. I touched the child's head and said, "You are also a living diamond. If you use carats to calculate , your value is more than 100 million!"

The child looked at me in disbelief, and from his eyes, I saw the confusion of values.But the value is so confused that many people mistakenly think that the value of diamonds is real, but they can't believe that there are many things in the world whose value is still higher than that of diamonds.Just like drugs, every time the police seized a large amount of heroin or amphetamines, news reports often said: "The drugs seized this time are worth 540 million yuan." In the eyes of drug addicts, they are worthless at all, and may even harm their lives. How can they have such a high "value"?

Although diamonds are not drugs, their value and price are worth considering.As a kind of stone, the value of diamond is neutral, and its brilliance appears because of the added value. If diamonds are used to express the eternal steadfastness of love, diamonds become valuable. If you use diamonds to show off your vanity, diamonds are worthless. If diamonds are used to participate in charity bazaars to help those poor beings, diamonds will become valuable. Diamonds are worthless if they are stored in a cabinet, even if they never see the light of day. With good added value, diamonds come alive.

Turned into an instrument of vanity and display, the diamond is dead. Not just diamonds, but all inanimate things that are considered precious, such as jade, emerald, pearl, amber, glass.Gold, coral, etc., have no real value. The value of things is determined because of the "meaning", and the meaning is established because of the "attitude of the heart". If we can really establish a personality and style centered on the heart to extend the meaning and value of life, we will show the sincerity of life and make everything in life be cherished and cherished.every flower.Every point of view and every journey becomes a "living diamond", and every love, every thought, and every growth is calculated in "carats".

In this impermanent world, where every step leads to nothingness, what matters is "living", not "diamonds". Every moment is alive, moving towards the direction of living, and living completely. Every moment is full of pure love, full of enthusiasm and beauty, and full of creative power. Then, life will have the beauty and brilliance of diamonds.
