Many persons today who are hurting, dying, depressed and suffering inwardly use ‘different stones’ and sometimes, ‘colourful stones’ to seal their caves and hide away their hurts, sufferings and sorrows from the public.

Do you gloat when others fall? Gloating is taking delight and pleasure, even rejoicing over someone else’s hardship, misery or disappointments. Our human nature inclines to it because it exudes certain pleasures. But is this pleasure favourable or destructive?
