A Diamond of Truth

Many jewels of truth decorate our souls: pearls, rubies, emeralds, sapphires, diamonds …

Some are these jewels have been set so artfully, they attract devotees who burn with enthusiasm to worship their beauty.

The worshippers seem to forget that the jewels symbolize the truth. They are not the truth themselves.

Truth is a living thing. It changes and adapts to maintain its essence. Truth must be applied to different conditions, times and people. It varies its costume of words to get by guarded traditions and pass through barriers of culture. Truth is forever on a mission to liberate the victims of lies.

Some people become jewels of truth. They learn to live their truth rather than decorate themselves with it. They embrace kindness, respect, compassion and love with sparkling determination.

Not all of us can be diamonds of truth, but we can try to be as beautiful a jewel as we can.

“Rough diamonds wrapped in an old newspaper
are preferred to plastic pearls
packaged in an official fancy box.”
