Year after year, day after day, they all lived in such a peaceful and harmonious way. Until one day, the little angel overheard a conversation among the angelic elders.
“Those two mortals in the Garden of Eden, is it really impossible to raise them up?”
“It seems impossible! Their souls are too unclean!”
Unclean?
The little angel was puzzled, what was that coming from? She decided to take a walk to Eden to get to the bottom of it.
“Darling! If you love me, let us eat it!” The woman handed a red fruit to the man. The man’s eyes flashed with hesitation, but then he took the fruit and took a hard bite.
“I know that eating this forbidden fruit will ruin me for good. But for the sake of our love, I am willing!” The man said with a smile. The woman didn’t answer, but raised her chin with a tearful glow and smiled as she kissed away the crystalline teardrops on the man’s face.
When the angel looked at it, a feeling rose up in his heart that he had never felt before. It turns out that love can be all-consuming! But their laughter, compared to ours, is so different. It is so – with feeling.
The angel was even more puzzled and decided to check elsewhere to find out.
Once she came to a place where she saw a woman in white and plain clothes, brittle in front of a grave, mourning and crying, sobbing about why the man had come unpunctually to propose marriage. Why did he heartlessly leave her behind and passed away alone? Suddenly, the wind blew from the sky, and a dry thunderstorm split a gap in the middle of the cemetery, and the woman jumped without hesitation ……
The woman’s tears infected the angel, making her weep unconsciously along with her. The teardrop slid across the angel’s pure knotted face and kept falling down until it leapt into the depths of the earth.
The angel traveled through time and space, wandering back and forth across the earth, and finally learned what it was that moved her to tears, that made men and women in the world weep with joy or mourn with sorrow!
It was – love! The love that never happens among angels!
And so the angel longs to love, and more than that, to be loved!
She decided to put away her wings to experience the joy of love, the sweetness of love, the beauty of love?
Soon, the angel found someone who enchanted her.
His intense affection touched the angel’s tender heart, and the angel shed tears of joy.
The man took the angel’s tears in his palm and looked at them carefully. It was a glittering stone!
The naive angel did not know the value of her tears, only that they were in love.
When he asked her where she came from, she told him in no uncertain terms. He loved her even more, fearing that she would suddenly disappear. He kept her inside the house, he locked up her wings, he forbade her to go out with him. He also gave her sweet words or small gifts every day, and each time he did not forget to look her in the eyes and ask: “Are you touched?” The angel gave him a sweet smile or a warm kiss every time, and the angel felt so happy.
After a while, he started to nag her about some things in life, and gradually he started to come home at night, no more sweet words, no more small gifts for her.
The angel sat alone with her knees in the cold house, remembering the sweet times of the past, and unconsciously shedding tears.
He found her crying when he opened the door and rushed to wipe away her teardrops. The angel kept crying sadly in his arms, and the tears of sorrow could not stop falling ……
The next day in the evening, he returned from outside in a rage, and angrily threw a packet of Dong Er at her: “Where did you hide the diamonds? Who is interested in these worthless broken crystals of yours!”
The naive angel held her bag of teardrops and looked incredulously at her beloved him, and the tears in her eyes gushed out more like a breakthrough, drip after drip hitting the ground.
The angel was really puzzled! The first time I saw it, I thought it was a good idea. Why does he want me to shed tears?
Diamond, formed from the tears of joy made by man.
Crystals are formed from the tears of angels in sorrow.
You should know by now why diamonds are so much more precious than crystals, when they are both shiny things.
It turns out that there is far more sorrow than joy, and joy, so rare and precious!
