When I was a kid, I always wanted a friend with whom I can share all my thoughts, joys, sorrows, ups, downs, in essence whatever i felt. But used to think that they should never change irrespective of whatever I share with them. When I say happy things, my friends become very happy and when I say sad things, my friends become sad. When I say, I am really upset with someone, my friends will develop an anger towards them too.
Initially the idea was to have a friend who is always happy, whatever I share with them. I realized that it is not going to be possible. Lets say if you want to remember only good things from your past, it is not possible, you will also remember bad things. Basically it is remembering your past. So if you don't want to remember bad things, you have to drop good things as well. Thats why I started this article saying that I need a friend who does not change. I started looking around for something that is a close manifestation of what I want (something that doesn't change).
Then I found rocks. They are so fascinating, absolutely solid in heart matters that whatever you share with rocks, they are not going to change. I used to share all my happiness and sorrows with rocks. I used to feel so happy that i got a friend who will never change irrespective of the season, irrespective of your emotion, your fear, your love, your happiness, your sorrow. The rocks are a symbol of endurance. Then I realized, who is the person/thing/power that can always make you happy, wont change what ever you tell them, always listens to you, whenever and whatever you say to them. GOD.
Then I thought it kind of makes sense that Gods in temple are made of rocks. People keep asking ridiculous things, god wont get upset People keep telling about too much sorrowful things, god wont get upset People always want a ear that can listen, god is there and THE most important quality promoting trust. So rocks are the closest personification of Gods qualities(if they can be defined)
