the 3 jars of Crystals

"Trust is like a mirror, you can fix it if it's broken, but you can still see the crack in that mother fucker's reflection."

― Lady Gaga

"Trusting is hard. Knowing who to trust, even harder."

― Maria V. Snyder, Poison Study

"Trust is the glue of life. It's the most essential ingredient in effective communication. It's the foundational principle that holds all relationships."

― Stephen R. Covey

"Don't trust people who tell you other people's secrets."

― Dan Howell

"As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live."

– Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

“The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them.”

― Ernest Hemingway

“To be trusted is a greater compliment than being loved.”

― George MacDonald

It's true that Trust is a delicate thing, like crystals when the snow falls for the first time, but if you step on it, it will never be the same.

As Humans, we are all full of flaws, but there's things that cannot be broken. Because the exact thing is said, "we are humans".

When I was little, my grandpa told me a story about three kings who wanted to build a strong kingdom, and for that, they need it to make an alliance with the most powerful kings. So five kings united themselves into a big room, and they realize that between them, the fourth king was the one with the most powerful influence, the other's King hurried, to make all the Kingdom's united. The fourth Kingdom brought the kings a present, for which one the fourth king gave three jars of crystals. The kings received the jars, and the fourth King left. After one month, the Fourth king returned to the meeting of the kings. He asked about the presents. He was curious to know what the kings made with the jars that he gave to them. So he started to ask. One of the kings told him that he put the jars in the kitchen because it was where the jars were supposed to be. The fourth king asked the other's kings. One of them told him that he would ask his servants, who told him that his sons were running and playing around that house when they dropped one of the jars. The other King told him he didn't know since he had so many jars in the castle, how could he differentiate the jars?. The last King told the fourth king that he went to his garden, took the best flowers, put them inside the jars, and put the jars in his castle's most safe place. All of the kings were curious to know why the fourth king wanted to know about the old gifts he gave to them.

The fourth King told them, "The crystals jars means that there are things in life that cannot be broken, and I gave it to you, to know if I really could trust you. The first jar means Trust, the second jars mean loyalty; the third jar means respect. Put the jars in any place of the house, where it is easy to be broken when there are many kids running around, is not ok. Put the jars in any place in the kitchen, knowing that they are crystals, is not ok. Lost the jars between other's jars is definitely not ok. The crystals jars, once broken, cannot be the same even if you tried to fix them. The jars will never be like they were before. So, the only safe thing to do would be, go into your garden, take the best flower and put it into them, and keep the jars in the safest place in the palace. That's ok to do. Because the exact fact that tells us we are humans and full of flaws, that's why we have things that cannot be broken like crystals.

My grandpa told me this story a long time before he died.

The truth is we all once in life broken someone's jars. But it is something that cannot be the same. A crystal jar is too much precious and, if fixed, probably would never be the same.

So honor the jars that a given to you, put in the most safest place of your house. Because they can never be the same once they are broken.
