Continuing with the tit bits series…this bit too is a bit saddening and sarcastic at the world behaviour…

"the knowledge is just in bits, yet, the learning must be for lifetime…that’s what is known as tit bits…"

“I learnt from stones! The stones that are used in laying roads, buildings…to say, in constructions activities. “constructive stones!” And there are those known as gems!! Gem stones are precious, and worthy, and priceless too!! And their worth increases by polishing!!”

The passerby had a different opinion:

“Stones are dangerous, if they are in the wrong hands!! Gem stones are dangerous because of their worth and just because they are precious!! The other stones if not used in construction activities, just lie on the grounds of earth, unasked, but if they reach some violent hands, they can injure and take life!! Those who know the worth of stones, must know why they are worthy!! No one asks about the rocks they were once!! Now they are broken stones, some precious and some just lying on the tombs, unknown, dead!! And you say, you will not like my soul watch me lying under such stone and to enjoy above me the stars that would have shine only at nights!! Why do want gems, can you make any stone a gem? You will ask why?”

I rest in peace…

The reader asked the passerby

“your opinion is not understood!?”

The passerby could only smile and say

“am I worth more then a handful of sand? And you build around me a wall and a ceiling to protect me from heat but away from light, away from air, away from water?? What will remain of me – just a few granules of carbon fossils!! That too will be washed away in the waters?”
