How Shell Produce a Precious Gem Called Pearl?

Pearls are formed as a result of pain, after foreign or undesirable elements, like parasites or a grain of sand, find their way inside the oyster.
A lustrous substance called nacre is found inside the shell. When a grain of sand penetrates the shell, the nacre cells begin to work and cover the grain of sand with layers and more layers, to protect the helpless body of the oyster.
As a result, a beautiful pearl begins to form.
There is no way for an oyster that has never been wounded to produce pearls, because a pearl is a wound that has healed.
The same can happen with us.
Have you ever been hurt by someone’s harsh words?
Have you ever been accused of saying something that you never said?
Have your ideas been rejected or misunderstood?
Have you ever suffered because of prejudice?
Have you ever been treated with indifference?
So, produce a pearl!
Cover your sorrows with several layers of LOVE.
Unfortunately, very few are interested in showing this kind of effort. Most people just learn how to cultivate resentment and sorrow, leaving their wounds open and nourishing them with various types of emotions. And, therefore, not allowing them to heal.
What we often see are " Empty Oysters ", not because they have not been wounded, but because they were unable to forgive, understand and transform their pain into love.
In most cases a smile, a glance or a gesture is worth more than a thousand words!
