Pearl

Got to know of this small funda about Pearl...A pearl is formed when a grain of sand irritates the oyster flesh, and when the oyster responds to this irritation by forming a protective covering around it. Interesting to note how something which is really irritating can be converted to something beautiful and elegant.

Do we also have the capabilities (like oyster) to respond to the irritations and difficulties we face by making something beautiful and worthwhile out of it instead of yeilding to irritations and difficulties? *sets me thinking*

Might not be as beautiful as the pearl. But IMHO all human beings adapt to situations and become kind of pearls ..though not necessarily by looks...!

Atleast one must try to I feel.!

But Yeah, I was astonished to when I read about how a pearl is formed...and now think how they make these artificial cutltures of Pearls.! ( Purposely irritating..!!)

BTW - I've modified my blogroll..Thank you .!

I did notmean looks...responsding to irritations in a positive way instead of giving away to it...
No idea how thy make artificial ones though ;) !

Yes it is a natural behaviour...also may be it is not what oyster thinks beautiful, may be it thinks pearl as an waht we think as a boil...that is one way to look at it....

But another way is what i mentioned in the post...
