Precious!!

The 'Precious' ring from the epic "Lord of the Rings"

The angel and the devil overheard a gossip that they were supposedly on the list of those who would receive the gift of God. Accustomed to arguments, they set out on another one.
"The gift will be precious. We will have to take care of it."
"What is precious?"
"That we cherish, that we value and that we cannot afford to loose."
"What if it is lost?"
"It is precious, it simply can't be lost."
"Suppose I loose it, what will be the consequences?"
"Oh no! That is unimaginable, drastic, too very painful. A highly precious possession can't be lost, it has to be treasured."
"Come on, for the moment let us consider we lost the precious possession, we lost what we treasured and cherished.  We have felt all the pain. What next? What are the consequences - the after effects?"
"Well,.... in that case,....... Maybe, we will learn to live without it."
"If so, is the precious, so very precious?"

    1. Thank you:) To me, they are observations rather than ideas. I think we all make such observations through life. My inspiration for the series is the poet 'Khalil Gibran'
      The angels are the beautiful people in my life and the devils are what they contain when delved into the details!!
