A man sat on the seashore at night before dawn and found a bag full of stones.  So he put his hand into the bag and took out a stone and threw it into the sea.  He liked the sound of the stone falling into the sea, so he picked up another stone and threw it into the sea and continued to throw the stones in the bag into the sea because the sound of the stones falling into the water made this man happy and made him ecstatic.  brings

 He continued his work until it became light and it turned out that there was only one stone left in the bag next to him.

 The weather became completely clear and that person looked at the remaining stone and saw that it was a jewel and realized that all the ones he had previously thrown into the sea and thought were stones were jewels!

 Therefore, he constantly bit his finger of regret and said to himself: How stupid I am that I threw all those jewels into the sea and thought that they were all stones, just to enjoy the sound of them falling into the water!!

 I swear to God, if I knew their value, I would not have lost even one of them.

 We are all like that man:

 The jewelry bag is the same life that we throw into the sea hour after hour.

 The sound of water is the perishable goods, pleasures, lusts and desires of the world.

 The darkness of the night is neglect and ignorance.

 The rising of daylight is also the revelation of the truth that when death comes, there is no turning back.
