Diamond
This is very precious stone. But what
make it so precious. Is it because it strongest among the stones or it is most
beautiful among the precious stones? Its beauty and preciousness spark from
within itself, I believe, however, there are hands that discover its beauty:
there are experts that assist it to bring out its beautiful potentiality and
characters; there is a hard-work and long process to bring out its beauty and
preciousness.
Can you find diamond
easily and everywhere in the soil? No. Diamond is found scarcely on our planet
and can be found only in some places where all condition of weather,
temperature, soil and stones, and other elements that comes together for
million years and allow it to be. Finally Heavy and soft human made machines,
technology and skills are needed to excavate it out and to show to the world
its beauty and preciousness.
Taking from the Aristotelian’s philosophy, the beauty and
its preciousness of diamond can be seen as the essences. However, can the
essence comes out from the eyes of its beholder? I don’t talk of it in
subjective perspective but I am talking of diamond as objective beauty because
its essence is precious and beauty. Yet, I know it needs to work out in its
best assisted by the skill crafted humans to show up its real essence.
From Platonic notion, I could say
that beauties and preciousness of diamond here and now because there is idea of
it somewhere in the realm of ideas. It is being revealed to humanity of this
precious and valuable, and beautiful stone called diamond.
Well, it is
philosophical thought to explain about a reality. However, I can say that
diamond is diamond. It is beautiful and very precious. People will work hard
with their own technology and skills to find it and to show it to the world.
My reflection is that if people work hard for
this precious stone because it gives them worldly power and richness, can we
work hard also to discover the beauty of “Atman” or Inner beauty of humanity
that is most precious and valuable compared to any other gems/precious stones?
Of course this discovery of beauty within oneself or within others not bring us worldly richness but will give us the TRUE PEACE and LOVE and UNITY among us, humans. I hope so.
