Diamonds/Stones!

Under: Thought of The Day @ 2:28 am on Wednesday, 06.7.06

“Never take someone for granted, Hold every person close to your heart because you might wake up one day and realize that you have lost a diamond while you were too busy collecting stones.”

Aren’t diamonds referred to as stones as well?

They’re referred to as gemstones; they’re called stones for short…

Hello..
Diamonds are reffered to as stones, yet there is much difference here.
I understood your quotation as the following :You can easily lose very valuable perons if you dont give them enough attention and care and scatter your concentration on other less valuable people ( stones )

It is close to the English Proverb : to cast pearls before swines : giving valuable things to those who do not appreciate it : they will reject and disvalue them.

I lost someday a ‘ jewel ‘ because I invested much in what I thought was a jewel, but it turned out to be another stone, just like the many stones we see daily.
I cannot forgive myself since then

nice post…
good day

Hi Osaid,

You’re right …and you live and learn I guess. You just need to accept and move on!
